German court raps police for raiding magazine

Germany's highest court has ruled that security services breached the constitution by searching the offices of the monthly political magazine Cicero. Journalists have hailed the ruling as strengthening the freedom of the press. In April 2005, Cicero published an article about Islamic terrorist Abu Musab al Zarqawi that cited extracts from a confidential internal police report. Police then raided the magazine in order to track down the reporter's source for the leak. (Via Der Spiegel)
