Sir Desmond de Silva's review confirmed that agents of the state were involved in the 1989 killing and that it should have been prevented.[…]
The review, published on Wednesday, found RUC officers proposed Mr Finucane, 39, be killed, said they passed information to his killers and failed to stop the attack and then obstructed the murder investigation
RUC ist eine Polizeieinheit in Nordirland, die inzwischen umbenannt und reformiert worden ist.It also found that an Army intelligence unit, the FRU, "bears a degree" of responsibility because one of their agents, Brian Nelson, was involved in selecting targets.Geht noch weiter!It found that MI5 received intelligence two months before the killing that Mr Finucane was under threat but that no steps were taken to protect him.It also found that MI5 helped spread propaganda against Mr Finucane in the years before he was killed.
Naja, Einzelfall, werdet ihr euch jetzt vielleicht denken. Keineswegs!Sir Desmond found that "in 1985 the security service assessed that 85% of the UDA's 'intelligence' originated from sources within the security forces".Die UDA ist die Ulster Defense Association, die in Nordirland für diverse Terroranschläge verantwortlich zeichnet.Die ganze Geschichte wäre ja an sich schon unfassbar genug, aber wartet mal, bis ihr das Ergebnis der Untersuchungen hört:
However, it concluded that there was "no overarching state conspiracy".Äh… nicht? Die Polizei, Geheimdienste und das Militär haben zusammengearbeitet, aber es war keine Verschwörung? Aha, soso. (Danke, Thomas)
