Gaddafi s Blood Money Victims of the IRA bomb campaign which was funded by Gaddafi are to seek compensation from frozen Libyan accounts in UK banks Meanwhile Boris Johnson and his government feast off the interest accruing

Kingsberry case The High Court in Belfast granted permission in early July for the family of a former member of the UDA, William Kingsberry – shot dead in 1991, to sue Libya for supplying the assault rifle used by the IRA unit that killed him. New approach The Kingsberry case, which is civil not criminal, is a new approach to gaining compensation for those killed or injured by Libyan-supplied matériel – and will be the first of many. Kevin Winters of KRW Law is bringing a number of civil cases against the Libyan State to gain compensation for victims. The PSNI initially refused to confirm that Libyan-supplied Semtex was used in explosions after 1986; but a case brought by Belfast solicitors KRWLaw in Belfast on behalf of a number of victims has established the link to the AKM rifle used in the 1991 Kingsberry case. The Kingsberry case creates a precedent for many other victims.

Malachi O Doherty: The Government met the IRA because it needed to understand them the DUP meeting loyalists is more like a family

A big lie that prevailed through much of the Troubles period was that the British Government did not - and would not - talk to terrorists. In fact, Edward Heath s Government negotiated the first IRA ceasefire in June 1972. The British offered a meeting between the Secretary of State, William Whitelaw, and the IRA leadership. The IRA learnt a lot from that process. They knew by the time it was over that the British would talk to them again some day. The British had effectively disclosed their understanding of what a ceasefire entailed. It was simply to be an agreement that the IRA would not shoot soldiers, or police officers, and would not bomb property. Killing civilians and other paramilitaries didn t ruffle British ministers.
