Trimble wins second libel action against Amazon

Northern Ireland First Minister David Trimble today won a second public apology and libel damages over a book which accused him of complicity in cold-blooded murder.

The High Court in London heard that the Nobel Peace Prize winner initially sued Internet bookseller Amazon.co.uk in 1999 following sales to UK customers of a book published in America entitled The Committee - Political Assassination in Northern Ireland, by investigative TV journalist Sean McPhilemy.
