British agent who infiltrated IRA arrested over two murders
The 46-year-old man, from Newry, Co Down, who uses the pseudonym Kevin Fulton, is being held under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.
He was arrested in east London and flown to Belfast to be interrogated about the murders — one involving the son of an IRA commander who was shot dead in a so-called punishment shooting that apparently went wrong, and the second of a soldier blown up by a bomb near the border.
