WARNING OVER RELEASING OMAGH FILES
Warning over releasing Omagh files
RELEASING secret British Government security files on the Omagh bombing could undermine the fight against international terrorism, it was claimed yesterday.
Former MP Lord Maginnis told a British-Irish politicians' body that the handing over of surveillance information to victims' families could set a dangerous precedent for the future. "We have to give our intelligence agencies a degree of security so that we don't undermine what is necessary for the protection of our country, of Europe or of our soldiers abroad," he said.
The UUP elder was speaking to a motion on the issue at the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly.
