Adams says Pat Finucane was murdered at British govt's behest
Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams has accused the British government of deliberately trying to prevent the truth about the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane from reaching the public domain.
Mr Adams described Britain’s appointment of a judge to decide whether a public inquiry into the murder is feasible as a cynical, stone-walling tactic. He said all the evidence in the case suggests that the solicitor, who defended the human rights of many Provisional IRA members, was murdered at the behest of the British government.
