Inquiry launched into collusion between RUC and IRA

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Friday March 09, 2007 14:10author by tom eile Report this post to the editors

During the Scooter Libby trial which ended this week , it was revealed that governments like to release bad news on a Friday on the assumption that most stories that appear on a Saturday are not followed up.
We can expect tomorrow's news to be dominated by the north’s local council elections results ,so all around, it would seem like a good day to announce the launch of an inquiry into collusion between the RUC and the IRA’s security department

“It is thought that a number of IRA killers were protected from prosecution because they were working as agents for Special Branch and other agencies.”
