The Five Demands

Il rapporto stilato da Peter Gibson a seguito dell’inchiesta  avviata dopo le rivelazione del programma della BBC Panorama, ha rivelato la mancata collaborazione di due poliziotti nelle indagini sulla strage di Omagh.
Uno di questi funzionari è un membro del Royal Ulster Constabulary.
Peter Gisbon ha continuato a ribadire che i dettagli delle intercettazioni telefoniche in possesso del Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ),  sono stati trasferiti immediatamente e pienamente in conformità con procedure corrette.
Michael Gallagher ha dichiarato i meritto a quest’ultima rivelazione: “E ‘un peccato che queste persone che hanno passato una vita nelle forze dell’ordine abbiano deciso di non collaborare. Perché non si vuole continuare a sostenere la legge e l’ordine, per far luce sulla questione?”

Two policemen refused to give evidence to a high-level probe into Omagh bomb intelligence in Northern Ireland, it has been revealed.
A member from the Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch was among those who failed to co-operate with the inquiry, Sir Peter Gibson added.
His investigation rejected claims information about the attack, which killed 29 people, was held back.
A Westminster committee of MPs is hearing evidence on his review, established after BBC Panorama claimed the government’s communications intercept centre was listening to mobile telephones used to co-ordinate the 1998 Real IRA explosion.Sir Peter said one of the officers who snubbed him was on the investigating team. “The other was Special Branch, he didn`t lead a team,” he said.
He added: “It would have been nice confirmation for me if what I had heard was the truth, obviously one wants as much confirmation as possible.”
In his report Sir Peter said details from telephone intercepts from the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) were passed on promptly and fully in accordance with proper procedures.
Michael Gallagher, whose son Aiden died in the blast, said: “It is unfortunate these people that have spent a lifetime in law enforcement have decided not to co-operate.
“Why would they not want to continue to support law and order and to shed light on the matter?”
