‘Inconceivable’ Gerry Adams was not involved in IRA bombings, claims former British army commander
AI Summary
In a civil claim brought by victims of IRA bombings against Gerry Adams, former British army commander Richard Kemp testified that it is "inconceivable" Adams was not involved in authorizing the attacks. Kemp cited two decades of intelligence suggesting Adams's membership in the IRA and his likely role on its army council, which Kemp believes would have had to approve high-profile bombings like the Old Bailey, Docklands, and Manchester attacks. During cross-examination, Kemp acknowledged he had no direct evidence and that intelligence could be unreliable or politically motivated. He maintained that the consistent intelligence over 20 years pointed to Adams's involvement. The case involves three victims suing Adams for symbolic damages, alleging his IRA membership and position on its army council.
