-Caveat Lector- 2 stories of interest today taken from my daily weblog http://leviathan.weblogs.com http://portal.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2001/07/29/nira29.xml Army's IRA moles to sue MoD over lack of protection Army's IRA moles to sue MoD over lack of protection By Rajeev Syal and John Sparks (Filed: 29/07/2001) A GROUP of ex-soldiers who say they infiltrated the IRA on Army orders are to sue the Government, accusing it of leaving them at the terrorists' mercy by failing to give them new identities. The 15 men, all Catholics from Northern Ireland, say the now live under an IRA death sentence and no longer receive adequate state protection. They are prepared to reveal in court how they were discharged from their regiments, placed in nationalist communities and encouraged to take part in terrorist operations - some of which resulted in deaths - so that they could pass information back to the Army. A court case would be embarrassing for the Ministry of Defence, which publicly denies that they were asked to work under cover. One of the men told The Telegraph: "I was told all along, 'When we need to pull you out, you'll get a new home, a new life and a new identity,' ". He added: "Now it's the time of the peace process and no one's looking after me. For the Government, it's safer for me to get shot as a civilian so no one has to pay for it." The ex-soldiers' lawyer, Imran Khan, said he had been in touch with the MoD and would launch action under the Human Rights Act if his clients did not get adequate protection and compensation. Mr Khan: "My clients, who have risked their lives for the British Government, have been abandoned since the Good Friday Agreement. "Any subsequent legal action will probe the Army's role in the recruitment of young Catholics into their service and what they were asked to do." One former IRA double agent, Sean O'Callaghan, said that if the case succeeded, it would open the way for claims against the Government by hundreds of IRA informers. -------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.irlnet.com/aprn/current/news/19kerr.html RUC complicity in Finucane killing RUC Special Branch were informed of killings about to take place, FRU leader Gordon Kerr is to reveal to the Stevens' probe into the killing of Belfast defence lawyer Pat Finucane. The British Brigadier and current military attaché to Beijing is to be questioned next month and it is rumoured that he intends to point the finger of blame at the RUC Special Branch. The Stevens team believe they have sufficient evidence to establish that Kerr previously lied to detectives investigating Crown force collusion with loyalist paramilitaries. Kerr appeared as Colonel `J' at the trial of Brian Nelson in 1992. Nelson was an agent for the FRU, one of the most covert units in the British army. As their agent Nelson update, reorganised and provided information on nationalists and republicans being targeted by loyalist death squads. Now facing charges of perjury, Kerr is set to spill the beans on the role of the RUC in connection with the Finucane shooting. Pat Finucane was shot dead in front of his wife and children by loyalist gunmen who burst into his North Belfast home in 1989. It has already been established that the weapons used for the killing were supplied and later disposed of by an RUC Special Branch informer William Stobie. The RUC Special Branch have admitted that they were informed by Stobie that a murder was about to take place and the names of the loyalist gang to carry out the hit. Even though a simple roadblock would have prevented the killing the RUC did nothing and later claimed this was because Stobie was unable to identify the intended target. FRU agent Brian Nelson supplied a photograph and Pat Finucane's personal details to the UDA gang planning the killing. What has yet to be established is whether the RUC were also privy to information available to the FRU. Kerr is set to dispute the RUC claim that they were not told about several of 15 killings in which that FRU have been implicated so far. _________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE allofyourgodsaredead.com Email account at... http://www.evilemail.com http://allofyourgodsaredead.com - Someone had to tell you. _________________________________________________________ <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
