Soldiers want inquiry to deal with collusion allegations

UNDERCOVER soldiers at the centre of the Pat Finucane murder investigation are prepared to face a public inquiry into the affair.

Former members of the Force Research Unit said they wanted to clear themselves of any allegations of collusion in the shooting by loyalists of the Belfast solicitor in February 1989.

The Government has indicated an inquiry will go ahead once the trial of a loyalist charged with killing Mr Finucane is over.
