Ahern to tackle Blair on Stakeknife murders

THE Taoiseach is to demand answers from British Prime Minister Tony Blair on British intelligence agencies’ collusion with an IRA double agent in a series of murders.

The family of Alfredo ‘Freddie’ Scappaticci, the man named as the British Army spy codenamed Stakeknife, yesterday told Sinn Féin he is still in Belfast.

However, British security sources insisted he had gone into hiding in Britain and police helped smuggle the 45-year-old out of the country because he feared for his life.
