'Strong evidence' of collusion in Ulster killings

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

British army intelligence and the MI5 security service were criticised in reports published today into claims of security service collusion in four of the most controversial murders in Northern Ireland.

A retired Canadian judge, Peter Cory, who was asked in 2001 by the British and Irish governments to investigate the case for public inquiries, says that he found "strong evidence" of collusion.

This comment is from the conclusion of his report into the murder of the Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane, which was published today alongside reports on the killings of the loyalist terrorist leader Billy Wright, Catholic civilian Robert Hamill and human rights lawyer Rosemary Nelson.

In all four cases he says he is "satisfied that there is a need for a public inquiry". In a move choreographed to coincide with the reports' publication, the government confirmed that four separate public inquiries would be held.

Also, FWIW, Cryptome.org has been carrying a lot of stuff about NI collusion -- especially about the FRU & the ongoing campaign by the MoD to silence whistleblowers such as "Martin Ingram", "Kevin Fulton" & most recently Sam Rosenfeld (http://cryptome.org/fru-asylum.htm)

1. If there was collusion, it is outrageous.

And the British need to do a thorough purge of these departments. Nothing less than government-aided murder.
