LONDON: British Prime Minister David Cameron announced yesterday an independent inquiry into letters of immunity sent to IRA suspects after an angry response to the freeing of an Irishman accused of a 1982 bombing that killed four soldiers in London.
Cameron said an independent judge with full access to government files and officials would lead the review and report back by the end of May. Northern Ireland’s most senior politician, First Minister Peter Robinson, had threatened to resign unless there was a full inquiry into the guarantees.
