IRELAND’S cross-party foreign affairs committee has thrown its support behind the family of Irishman Michael Dwyer who are seeking an independent investigation into his death.

THE family of an Irishman who may have been lured to his death in an anti-terrorist shoot-out in Bolivia hope to meet the Foreign Affairs Minister Micheál Martin again this month as part of their campaign for an international enquiry into his death.

BOLIVIAN prosecutors investigating the killing of three Europeans, including 24-year-old Tipperary man Michael Dwyer, by police in the South American country last spring claim to have found evidence directly linking the group and the CIA.
