British spy chief John Sawers is facing public embarrassment after his
daughter posted a photo of herself posing with a gold Kalashnikov rifle on
Facebook.

Oxford graduate Corinne Sawers, 23, is seen standing in front of a family
Christmas tree holding the gold-plated weapon - similar to those found among
Saddam Hussein's treasures after the 2003 Iraq invasion - in her profile
pictures, The Sunday Mirror reports.

The gun is a decommissioned Kalashnikov and is believed to have been a gift
to Corinne's father, MI6 boss Sir John, as a memento of his time in Iraq.  

All of Corinne's 873 Facebook friends, and tens of thousands of their
friends globally, can see her gun-toting picture on the networking site.

"It's a very silly thing for her to do," a former security source told the
newspaper.

"Given the sensitivity of her dad's job, she should think twice about what
she posts."

It's not the first time Sir John has been left red-faced over photos posted
on Facebook.

His wife, Lady Sawers, put up a picture of Sir John wearing skimpy swimming
shorts on her Facebook page last May when he was appointed to the MI6 top
job.
