Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams has suffered a severe backlash after he claimed two of the most senior RUC officers killed by the IRA had only themselves to blame. A report published yesterday found Irish police had colluded in the murders.
In his 500-page report, Judge Peter Smithwick found there was collusion in the killings but he has not pointed the finger at any individual officer or civilian.
He found: "It is particularly regrettable that both police services acted swiftly to dismiss speculation of the possibility of collusion rather than to deal with that by means of a thorough and credible investigation.
"This was an example of the prioritisation of political expediency in the short term, without due regard to the rights of victims and the importance of placing justice at the centre of any policing system."
