London - (Espionage Mess): Was the dumping of Gareth Williams' body in a safe house bath a deliberate coded signal?
MI6 Internal Affairs today dismissed the symbolism as cranky, although controversial Iraq waterboarding dossiers remain strictly off-limits for the duration.
The agency was also quick to distance itself from red tops' speculation that the sports holdall containing Williams' body 'was in fact a large Westmonster Council rubbish recycling bag'.
Reports that the cryptographer's mountin' bike had been tagged by a foreign power's surveillance gizmo have also been rejected - although his 2010 Cannondale Prophet 800 off-roadster appears to be missing from official inventories.
Other anomalies include claims police found at least two other passports under different IDs and that a 'Taleban wife' was threatening to sue Williams for child support.
"Lycra cycling shorts and bicycle saddles these days are not especially fertility-enhancing," Bike Racer magazine sources said today.
The GCHQ velodrome remains shut until further notice.
