Terror claims against two murdered lawyers under fire

ULSTER Unionist leader David Trimble was challenged yesterday to produce evidence to support his claim that murdered solicitors Rosemary Nelson and Pat Finucane had terrorist links.

Eunan Magee, the brother of Rosemary Nelson, said the comments by the Nobel Peace Prize laureate in the House of Commons on Thursday were a “disgrace.”

The government announced public inquiries would be set up into the murders of Mrs Nelson; Mr Finucane; Portadown Catholic Robert Hamill and loyalist terror boss Billy Wright as “soon as possible.”
