The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) for correspondence between it and the US State Department concerning a document known as ‘The Abu Nidal Handbook.’ The FCO provided the complainant with some of the information falling within the scope of this request but sought to withhold the remainder on the basis of sections 23(1) (security bodies) and 27(2) (international relations) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that the FCO is entitled to rely on these exemptions to withhold the remaining requested information.
