Finucane family's new bid for inquiry into killing

The family of murdered Belfast solicitor Patrick Finucane launched new court action against the British government today in a bid to force it to set up a public inquiry immediately into the killing.

The move came after the High Court in Belfast yesterday agreed to a British government application for a three week adjournment of an action by the Finucane family seeking to compel Northern Ireland Secretary Paul Murphy to publish reports into the killing and three others that he has been sitting on for over four months.
