Written question asked by Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Taylor of Bolton (Labour) on Thursday, 17 January 2008.
Zaire
- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:Why photographs taken from Canberra overflights of eastern Zaire in November and December 1996 were not released; and to which agencies or Governments any information derived from the missions was communicated.
- Answer
-
Imagery from photo-reconnaissance missions is not normally released to the public. In this case, there was a particular need for the public to understand the scale and nature of the humanitarian problem, and a selection of images were subsequently released to the media. The Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre produced a report based on the imagery collected. That report was distributed within the department to the Permanent Joint Headquarters, Headquarters Strike Command and Headquarters Land.
