The post you are reporting:
I did hear about a shipment of arms to Northern Ireland being detected in the 70's, which is also when I heard about it!
I was living in North Camp when a bomb went off in Aldershot; my sister saw the bomb explode before her very eyes!
And in that period the local catholic priest of North Camp got shot in Norhtern Ireland, by the IRA. He was Irish, and many people liked him!
I had thought that Col. Gedaffi long ago had given up his support of the IRA, which was probably based on a misunderstanding of Irish history. He probably saw many things from one point of view, and hadn't been informed on the whole context.
I am surprised that this has been dragged out and opened publicly on TV, as I had thought that Mr. Gerry Adams and many other people active in Northern Irish politics had all renounced confrontation with other people in Northern Ireland and with Britain, and that we had a new beginning of cooperation, and that these terrible wounds of the past had been in the healing process.
At this point one might as well call for all former members of the IRA to be dragged to prison!!! It is all the more bluffing and incredible the more this topic goes on with the argumentations that are beinbg pulled out.
I also strongly doubt that Checoslovakian-produced semtex was responsible for every death of a person that got blown up in Northern Ireland and England! Many people got shot, or executed at point blank range.
My mother was shocked once when her sister told her that such and such a young Irish man in the British Army, who they both knew, had been captured by the IRA with two other soldiers, and the three were hacked to death in a house, executed.
A shame that the Government's decision to call it a day with Gedaffi-accusations has now been reversed, and we go slipping back into old memories and remorses!
My Dad being a soldier, I lived in an Army base and have been to Army school in North Camp, and know more about military and less-military facts than many people have had hot dinners!
