Former MI6 spy leaves Edinburgh after claiming top school 'hated' his daughter

A former MI6 spy who was able to infiltrate Al Qaeda has said he is moving out of Edinburgh after accusing a top school of 'hate' towards his daughter.

Aimen Dean has claimed St George's School had discriminated against his five-year-old child due to his background and employment history. Previously working as an agent for MI6, Aimen Dean had gone undercover as a bomb-maker for the terrorist group, while collecting vital intelligence for the UK.

After being granted British citizenship, both he and his wife had settled in Edinburgh in 2015, with their daughter going on to attend the prestigious school.
