Johnson announces Bob Quick resignation

Britain's most senior counter-terrorism officer has resigned after he accidentally revealed details of a secret anti-terrorism operation.

Police raids, which lead to 12 arrests on suspicion of terrorism offences, had to be brought forward because a briefing document was photographed as Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick entered Downing Street.

London Mayor Boris Johnson announces that he has accepted Mr Quick's resignation.
