Denmark's intelligence agency stops book of ex-boss
None
COPENHAGEN, Denmark - One of Denmark's largest newspapers says the country's intelligence agency has been granted an injunction against the tabloid's plans to publish excerpts of a banned book based on interviews of its former chief, Jakob Scharf.
Ekstra Bladet chief editor Poul Madsen says it was "completely ludicrous" that Denmark's Security and Intelligence Service, known as PET, "dictates what the free press should print."
The daily said it was informed Saturday after an overnight court ruling.
