To whom it may concern,

Recently a website [redacted] has been publishing articles penned by a [private] in which he accuses me of being a terrorist. In light of the very serious accusations I got in touch with the anti-terrorist unit of Scotland Yard to denounce the issue for the editor of said website appears to live here in England. The anti-terrorist unit replied that they could not take further action in that respect. However they recommended me to get in touch with the office of the Information Commissioner of England to seek remedy. The Information Commissioner advised me to contact the company that provides hosting services to Vheadline to ask them to remove the libellous material. Fortunately the director of said company, Snap Technologies, sympathised with my cause and got the editor of [redacted] to remove personal information about myself posted in his website. According to the laws of England, it is an offence to publish personal data without explicit written consent of the person in question [Data protection Act 1998]. Ergo said information was removed, however the libellous articles continue there. The problem in that respect is that [redacted] gets indexed by Google News, and as we are only too aware, articles indexed there are rapidly propagated through the web. Since, to the best of my knowledge, I have got no connection whatsoever with terrorism and believe that these accusations have no legal substance or evidence, I should be most grateful if these articles are removed from public access in Google and Google News, at least until this matter is conveniently solved in a court of law and responsibilities are determined and duly judged.
