Gerry Adamswas “directly responsible for and complicit” in the decisions made by the Provisional IRA to detonate bombs in England, the High Court in London has heard.

John Clark, a victim of the 1973 Old Bailey bombing in London, Jonathan Ganesh, a 1996 London Docklands bombing victim, and Barry Laycock, a victim of the 1996 Arndale shopping centre bombing in Manchester, all allege that Mr Adams was a leading member of the Provisional IRA on those dates, including of its Army Council.
