British must come clean on Stakeknife: Harney

TÁNAISTE Mary Harney yesterday called on the British Government to come clean about the alleged British agent known as Stakeknife.

Speaking in Brussels, Ms Harney said the allegations, if true, were shocking and deeply disturbing.

As the man identified as Stakeknife, Freddie Scappaticci, denied he was a double agent, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said the codename may actually apply to two different people.
