New book claims British Army colluded with loyalists

The Government is being urged to press Downing Street for answers following fresh claims of British Army collusion with loyalists during the seventies.

A new book by a former UVF man alleges that a unit of the army - known as the Military Recognisance Force - trained members of the loyalist group.

'Killing for Britain' - which is published under the pseudonym 'John Black' - claims this unit also planned a series of attacks throughout the decade, including the Miami Showband Massacre in 1975.
