The army asked me to make bombs for the IRA, told me I had the Prime Minister's blessing ... then tried to have me killed , Sun 23-Jun-2002,

Ulster's "dirty war" is in the headlines again following a BBC Panorama programme which aired allegations that British Military Intelligence colluded with terrorists in a campaign of assassination. The Panorama programme - which concludes tonight - was largely based on long-running investigations by the Sunday Herald and other newspapers.
The allegations have deepened today with one former British agent claiming he was told by his military handlers that his collusion with paramilitaries was sanctioned by Margaret Thatcher herself.
Kevin Fulton is very clear about where the orders were coming from. "I was told that this was sanctioned right at the top,'' he says, sipping a Pepsi in the bar of a Glasgow hotel. "I was told 'there'll be no medals for this, and no recognition, but this goes the whole way to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister knows what you are doing."
