SF hits back at Colombia claims

Sinn Fein today demanded the resignation of Colombia’s Prosecutor General after he claimed there was considerable evidence linking three Irishmen to left-wing rebels in the country.

Mitchel McLaughlin, Sinn Fein’s national chairman, described as “a disgrace” comments by Luis Camilo Osorio ahead of the trial of James Monaghan, Martin McCauley and Niall Connolly that hundreds of people were being massacred in Colombia by Marxist FARC rebels with mortar bombs which resembled the IRA’s.
