The complainant submitted a request to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) seeking documents relating to the accidental shooting down of an Iranian passenger aircraft by the USS Vincennes in July 1988. The FCDO disclosed some information but withheld further information on the basis of section 21 (information reasonably accessible), and section 23(1) (security bodies) or, in the alternative, section 24(1) of FOIA. The complainant disputed the application of the latter two exemptions. The Commissioner has concluded that the disputed information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 23(1) or section 24(1) of FOIA.
