Covert gardaí exposed online

SPECIAL BRANCH detectives yesterday expressed serious concern that photographs of a dozen of their members have been posted on a US website devoted to exposing undercover police and military agents.

Individual gardaí who are clearly identifiable from pictures put up on the US website this week are worried there may be a sinister motive.

The website has a history of revealing secret and classified documents from governments across the globe as well as identifying undercover security agents.
