4:31 pm
case for collusion was neither fanciful nor absurd. crucially however for the families bereaved by other glennon murders north of the border daryn published a full appendix listing the ballistic links between other key attacks. after publication of the foreign report it became obvious that there was still no response from the state. very serious allegations of criminality were not can be investigated that there was going to be no response and so we decided that we should respond we should bring people in and their national figures so we approached a number of people u.n. investigators who'd worked to el salvador people who'd worked in the south african truth commission and others academics lawyers people's experience and we invited them to ireland and i asked them to look at the evidence to me was whistleblowers to meet with families to meet with p.s. and i was seated and many others. and
4:32 pm
a troll their own conclusions their own report the international report which is what they did and it was a very valuable experience people from outside the jurisdiction come here look at the evidence and come to their own conclusions. 10 years ago from 2004 to 2006 i had the privilege of chairing an independent international inquiry into a potential collusion by british security forces in paramilitary killings of catholics in northern ireland. they certainly were not a few bad apples there are a significant number of british intelligence agents from within the car you see in the u.d.r. who were involved directly in these killings who are in collusion with them and their activities there are illegal activities according to the evidence we received
4:33 pm
. to their immediate superiors putting a number of chief inspectors and inspectors where we were not able to ascertain if the time is how far up the chain of command this went we do know that senior authorities in london on notice of information that should have caused them to can talk further investigations of this collusion in northern ireland we found no no indication that they took that obligation seriously. the next big step change came when they historically inquiries team was set up to investigate all the unsolved murders of the conflict which quickly broadened all. the conflict and within that organization the there was a special team set up to investigate claims of collusion away the state was allegedly involved in the matter as it was headed up by a particularly intelligent. detachment detective steve morris.
4:34 pm
my expectations were on would conduct a full and thorough review over a number of messages that were believed sort of. involved certain degrees of collusion it was already evidently been some degrees of collusion from a lower level and by those members of security forces that were directly involved but as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and the degree to which the collusion was involved in some of those cases. the one case that totally surprised me was the the fatal bombing of the step in in august launching 76 people were killed where there was overseen by. police offices. that really flabbergasted me by the lack of response from the only you see. it was quite evident from the outside looking at certain interviews
4:35 pm
material and documents that elements of the oh you see knew that some of their offices who were planning and eventually carried out the face of the step in so many others which are. just throughout the north in the past 7 years. with explosives. suspecting customers were inside. what it's incomprehensible to me. but they all use a. level were aware that a bombing was being carried out and in fact the bombing at the. knowing who was responsible and knowing who they were they still did nothing about it. none of those officers were arrested until 1970 eight's and even then my words arrested specifically for the step in. so from the oldest 1976
4:36 pm
until december 19th. the all you did nothing. for us to step in bombing was the smoking gun because although we believe that it was very similar to a lot of other attacks in the klan as there is the difference with the step in was the historical enquiries team under steve morris managed to find all the paperwork . which showed that that what the authorities had known about the plan leading up to the step in the carrying out of the bombing itself and the fact that although they knew every single person who'd been involved in the planning the old coordination the determining of the target the making of the bomb the storing up the bomb everything then you everybody and everything about this bomb despite that and spite the fact that 2 people were killed and
4:37 pm
a huge number of other people were very seriously engines not one single person was of a charged or convicted without bombing despite the i.e.c. knowing everything about it. what was the reaction all those years was easier of course. they have this did not miss him came true even if. relief. that i had gone on to a court. because a new army was there check the horsing out of me in check dish kono farm and they told us. their army and the british was in. with a bomb wash. and known as you are you she was your question. and question on the h.e.g. chodesh one thing that there was a survey of. the midafternoon and the bone was there for years. the state committed
4:38 pm
the murder that is nothing. more there. and wait your partner changes to bed. only partly get the inquest put forward i know more can they. own up to what they don't. it was clear deals from c. in the individual reports that were common oik from the story point choir's tame the mob we were looking at here was coordinated attacks. some of the same people used the same weapons same farmhouses same heights same modus operandi were working together and not truly understand what was happening and who needed to be looked at as a whole that the daily thing else would be to atomize each individual attack to individualize it which didn't tell the bigger story the story that was understood
4:39 pm
a play said quarters that was all arrested at army headquarters at the time that these were coordinated auctions and indeed that some members of the security forces were taking part in these attacks and so we said to the c.t. that the only way to properly understand this was to produce an overarching report they agreed they began to work on it but it was never completed it was never delivered. what we think the prospect of an overarching bybee engine thematic report was proved to the senior level within the peers and i because. the conclusions would have been just to cost structure it would have essentially mean the kiss and in fact it would have amounted to a state recognition and confirmation that collusion existed within the security forces in this particular sector in the conflict and i suppose politically on for many many other reasons not was just too long comfortable. for many people and for
4:40 pm
the british government document a pulling out of the overarching report on not really is just acceptable for the focus. one of the fundamental elements of my overall interim report would have been for these questions beyond just how is it that a group of place offices. know that they can go back to a farm where there is a bomb in a car having been under surveillance and yet they know they can go back the following day. and the bomb goes off will drive them the confidence that they were not going to be apprehended there and then. over some lights a stage for me that is the biggest question that needs to be answered. desperate to get to the truth before some of the elderly bereaved relatives die steve morris is on and sequestered for put before the courts and. their lawyers
4:41 pm
challenge the haiti failure to write the thematic report that they were promised. amongst the legal exhibits provided to the high court was a copy of on could wallers lethal allies the 1st time any such group was accepted as a legal exhibit in the northern courts. in july 27th the court delivered a stunning victory for the families ordering the chief constable to come up within weeks this excepted will independent fully resourced report to fulfil it here tt's problems. humiliated the chief constable the pain despite objections from the bereaved families 11 of whom it passed away since the court case began. hargrove for the families today it honest was just being very distant. but the
4:42 pm
overarching report that would have pulled government together and made all the connections muslim being completed there. how important is very for us. important frustrating yesterday was disappointing you have your ups and downs illegally in the story but i know the however frustration and obsession it is really there are people all over northern ireland who have lost families who are getting out this morning wondering if this is going to be a good day and they finally get some justice. so these days you never know what the courts are going to decide but there's no doubt about it in the 3 months since groundbreaking dictionary in the courts on the 28th of july
4:43 pm
27th jean although the p.s. and i in the state were ordered by the judge to negotiate with us and come forward with a green route to inquiry enter a horse we've just discovered that they have done nothing. absolutely nothing so if you're an individual or a citizen and you are ordered to do something by course you have to do it because somehow if your police force and you're all hit by courts to something you can get away with doing nothing for at least 3 months and if they decide to appeal today which is possible it could delay everything by here some of our family members are also ill they might be hearing am just see the report that they were a shooting and thoughtless and not come into existence.
4:44 pm
because. because it. is created. the point is should we actually be charging for it because this is. because it's a benefit to the person. that's the. education about 30 or 40 years ago but the perspective. was originally that education is a benefit to society in general i wouldn't want to live in a saudi without. seeing it or
4:45 pm
being ignored in the public means that we're ignoring the. saudi and putting the burden of that. on the individuals. in the courts and in the rare move ordered that they should know take action and complete the report that was promised to all of the. second issue is. to move. the. compelling way they have not given any notes or records as to why. this decision was taken the reality is this decision has been made clear
4:46 pm
by the court is as irrational but only awful tame that justice was no longer delayed to the follies of going on and i just was done and the piece completed the support without any in less than occasional. almost 4 years since we started this case and. i have watched following my missions again pos way on there's other family members better at the going on sirius passed away. for the following is their spin on emotional torture shake a lot of logical torture. and it's near tame that. george hamilton relays that enough is enough on the day off the dinosaur are you see desert over to have proper place in the house to be a furnace and justice thank you. so
4:47 pm
far we've identified says she 8 people who were involved in the murders of 120 past people who are members of the circle security forces we've named most of them there may be others we don't know of very few spend a day in jail now that's too many people over short few he has involved in 120 matches in one geographic small geographical area to be explainable by the bad apples there as far as the victims were concerned they were just collateral damage in what was a state systemic policy of collusion now as far as the families are concerned they have the right to truth and justice some want apology and acknowledgment others want day in court will support whatever and they choose. well it's amazing how the truth comes. out as george greenwich o. said to me that said becomes like god under the door. and it has happened from time
4:48 pm
to time. some people have for a not conscious has taken them and they have revealed different material and as years have gone by of course the families i've been interested in of trying to find out the truth of what happened and who was responsible but at the same time a lot of awfully sick killings haven't been showed when it serves at the authorities then they had to care for information about the media for a condition put in the modern comparison and to the sure bunch of collusion and their own salt it's not all the it's not very creative. yet. on shushed and a justice at the just a style of not. just out of a cup now. expose them. for what they did.
4:49 pm
so action made on ahead telling. the take care that much more. they still got the police protection. and. i think it went to the very very top. i think it is. the water where politicians knew what was going on and gave the go ahead. on basically the are to cheat wouldn't be. doing a great job bodies ought. don't be getting caught and dropping also into problems. i suppose what still needs to be doen is to get an acknowledgement of what actually helped the other states in the period of the troubles to the period. the conflict
4:50 pm
take to protect themselves as a neutral arbiter at this stage that story doesn't stack up any more the british did were involved in the mass killings they were involved with loyalist paramilitaries. i suppose my abiding open would be that we can tell our story and that we can honor those who lost their lives to the fullest of acts of members of the security forces. me having the white close of filling stations and a few lonely street lamps among fields you climb the hills towards newton hamilton past the fuse forest beneath the stars. along that road a high bare pilgrim's track where sweeney fled before the bloodied heads gold
