Ghazwan's tongue-in-cheek comments are sadly not as fictional as we would like. Despite the strong opposition of Irish mainstream and Catholic groups against terrorism, there has been a tradition of unlawful killings, bombings and other crimes by groups closely associated with - if not actually working for - British security services. The most publicised include the Livingstone brothers, Captain Holroyd, Colin Wallace and Brian Nelson. Following revelations from former British counter-insurgency activists, the Irish government established a judicial tribunal to inquire into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings in which 33 people were killed. It is widely believed that at least rogue British officers were implicated in these offences. The investigating authorities particularly wish to interview a colonel who apparently is now Britain's expert on Osama bin Laden (see Phoenix magazine, 9th Nov. 2001)! Neither this colonel nor Britain's leading expert on special operations have cooperated with the inquiry, according to press sources reporting on the judicial tribunal. _______________________________________________________ http://inbox.excite.com -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a discussion list run by the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq For removal from list, email soc-casi-discuss-request@lists.cam.ac.uk CASI's website - www.casi.org.uk - includes an archive of all postings.
