Fresh calls for investigation into loyalist murders linked to collusion claims
Calls for the Northern Ireland Affairs Select Committee at Westminster to examine murders of people who were killed with guns shipped from South Africa. Edited since transmission.
The Pat Finucane Centre has called on the Northern Ireland Affairs Select Committee at Westminster to examine murders of people who were killed with guns shipped from South Africa. The call comes after the committee said victims of Libyan-sponsored terrorism had been let down by successive governments. The victims lobby group say this would be logical - if the committee want "a level playing field". A police ombudsman report last year found that an assault rifle used in the murder of six people in Loughanisland in 1994 was part of a huge consignment of South African weapons brought into Northern Ireland by loyalist paramilitaries. The Finucane Centre say that these weapons came into Northern Ireland at "at the instigation of British military intelligence agents". Other weapons from the shipment were used in a least 70 murders and attempted murders.
