Adams to take action against BBC over ‘Spotlight’ murder claims

Gerry Adams is taking action against the BBC over allegations about the murder of an MI5 spy in the IRA.

However, the Sinn Féin president refused to say if he will sue over claims levelled in a Spotlight current affairs programme in the North over who sanctioned the killing of Denis Donaldson.

Mr Adams branded the documentary “nonsense” and last week said he specifically and categorically denied the allegation that he had any involvement in ordering the murder.
