British police apologize for gathering names of those who bought copies of Charlie Hebdo

It all started when 77-year-old Anne Keat asked her local newsagent to order her a copy of the special commemorative "survivors' issue" of Charlie Hebdo in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.

Keat later learned that a police officer visited the newsagent and asked for the names of the four people who had also bought one.

"Beware," Keat wrote in a letter to the Guardian, "your [Je suis Charlie] badges may attract police interest in your customers."
