Jump To Comment: 1 2The Pat Finucane Centre have issued this press release today:
US Special Envoy agrees to discuss Iraq contract with Mc Bride family
Private security firm tries to gag whistle-blower over Iraq shootings
As controversial British private security/ mercenary firm Aegis Defence Services prepares to take legal action to gag a whistle blower the US Special Envoy to the North has agreed to meet the Mc Bride family to discuss the role of Tim Spicer in the company. Spicer, former gun-runner and mercenary, was the commanding officer in 1992 in Belfast when soldiers under his command murdered Peter Mc Bride. Though convicted of murder the soldiers remain the British army. Spicer has repeadedly lied about the circumstances surrounding the murder and has sought to justify the incident where Scots Guards opened fire on a youth they knew to be unarmed. On leaving the military Spicer was involved in mercenary activities and attempted coups in Africa and Asia and the Pentagon decision to award his company a $293 million contract in Iraq has been widely opposed in the US and elsewhere. When allegations surfaced recently that Aegis employees were involved in the murder of civilians in Iraq, incidents caught on so-called trophy videos, Jean Mc Bride again called on the US authorities to cancel the contract, a call echoed by a number of US Senators and members of congress.
Speaking today Jean Mc Bride said,
"The last thing the poor people of Iraq need is a man who tries to justify the murder of unarmed civilians which he has done in Peter's case. Isn't it about time that someone told the US public where their tax dollars are going? This is one foreign fighter that the Iraqis should definitely expel. That is what I intend telling Mitchell Reiss when I meet him in May. "

In recent days, Reiss has been informed in an email letter by the PFC that it was contacted by an individual "who wishes to provide vital information to the trophy video investigation" being carried out by the Pentagon.
"Mr. Stoner has also informed us that it is his understanding that none of those present in the vehicle have been contacted by the Pentagon, or indeed by any official investigating the video. If true this would suggest that a cover-up has taken place of matters concerning serious criminal wrong doing, including murder," the letter to Reiss added.
