Well Hot Damn! I had part of a Masters thesis used in a similar fashion without attribution back in 98. My paper was on the conduct of mass casualty drills in a WMD environment in Washingtom DC, including a study of the disbursion effect of biological plume agents by helicopters being used in the casualty evacuation. Wait 'til the Brit papers hear this...

But I am suprised that the papers made no comment on whether the data was true, which in typical Brit tabloid fashion, made no difference at all...
