ment of the work in this field.’’ However, the addressee, Konstantin
Kukin, had been directed to ‘‘instruct her not to discuss her work with
us with her husband and not to say anything to him about the nature
of the documentary material which is being obtained by her.’’ Thus
MI5 established in 1964, when the text was finally decrypted, that
Norwood had been an active spy in September 1945 and had been
ordered not to confide in her husband, a Communist schoolteacher,
about her espionage. Surprisingly, despite this evidence that she had
engaged in betraying atomic secrets, MI5 chose not to take any ac-
tion and did not even bother to interview her, on the grounds that she
had remained a hardened CPGB member and therefore was unlikely
to cooperate with any interrogation. A subsequent inquiry conducted
by theParliamentary Intelligence and Security Committeecriti-
cized MI5 for failing to talk to her.NOVEMBER 17.The Greek terrorist organization November 17 or N-
17 was named after the date in 1973 when the Greek military junta’s
tanks entered the Athens University campus to suppress a student
demonstration. The group peddled a strange Marxist nationalist mes-
sage and has claimed responsibility for the deaths of 20 people, in-
cluding the assassination of the localCentral Intelligence Agency
chief of station, Dick Welch, in December 1975. It was placed on the
Home Office’s proscribed list under the Terrorism Act (2000). In
June 2000 the British defense attache ́, Brigadier Stephen Saunders,
was shot dead as he drove himself to the embassy, resulting in offers
of assistance fromMI5and Scotland Yard’s Anti-Terrorist Branch.
No progress was made in the murder investigation until 2002, when
Kostas Telios was injured as a bomb he was carrying in Piraeus deto-
nated prematurely. Under interrogation in hospital, Telios identified
the whole of N-17’s membership, mainly his family and close
friends, who were promptly arrested. The leader was an academic,
Alexandros Glotopoulos, and the group’s principal gunman was
Dmitris Koufodinas; both received multiple life sentences.
