Guardian editors destroyed computers used to store top-secret documents leaked by the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. Under the watchful gaze of two technicians from the British government spy agency GCHQ, the journalists took angle-grinders and drills to the internal components, rendering them useless and the information on them obliterated. The bizarre episode in the basement of the Guardian's London HQ was the climax of Downing Street's fraught interactions with the Guardian in the wake of Snowden's leak - the biggest in the history of western intelligence. The details are revealed in a new book - The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man ??" by the Guardian correspondent Luke Harding. The book, describes how the Guardian took the decision to destroy its own Macbooks after the government explicitly threatened the paper with an injunction. ?? Sarah Lee / eyevine
