Secret plans to protect Blair from terror attack left in hotel

Secret plans to protect Tony Blair from a terrorist attack were left in a hotel, it was claimed today.

They were part of a folder which lists ways in which assassins could try to kill the Prime Minister and other members of the Cabinet, it was alleged.

It includes suggested "attack scenarios" including car bombs, mortar attack, rocket grenades and suicide bombers.

The dossier covers security arrangements for the forthcoming Labour Party conference in Manchester in September.

It was left in the Midland Hotel in the city, around the corner from the conference centre.

It was handed to a newspaper, The North West Enquirer, which handed it to Greater Manchester Police.

It is not clear how much of a security blunder release of the the details could be.

The documents were stamped "Restricted" and "Confidential", but Greater Manchester Police said security had not been compromised and no specific threat against the conference or the Prime Minister had been identified.
