Spycops who infiltrated animal rights groups and left parties named

TWO more undercover police officers had their cover names published by the spycops inquiry yesterday.

Matt Rayner, known as HN1, infiltrated animal rights groups including the Animal Liberation Front and West London Hunt Saboteurs between 1991 and 1996 while using the identity of a dead boy.

The former spycop has previously been accused of encouraging and helping animal rights campaigner Geoff Sheppard to commit illegal acts for which he was jailed for four years.
