'My unit conspired in the murder of civilians in Ireland'

THERE is no hesitation in his voice. "Oh, yeah," the former military intelligence officer says. "There's no doubt about this. My unit was guilty of conspiring in the murder of civilians in Northern Ireland, on about 14 occasions."

The team behind the killings is the Force Research Unit or FRU, the British army's most covert and elite military intelligence squad. It ran a series of double agents across the Province at the height of Ulster's "dirty war" conducting an horrific anti-terrorist campaign.

The FRU was under the command of Brigadier Gordon Kerr. Kerr, an Aberdeen man and former Gordon Highlander, was in charge of this shadowy network of British army agents, who quite simply collaborated with their loyalist informers to murder civilians in Ulster, between 1987 and 1991.

Sometimes their victims were Provos, sometimes high-ranking republicans, but on at least four occasions they were innocent Catholics.

Now in his early 50s, Kerr, a graduate and career officer who later moved to the Intelligence Corps, is currently the British military attachZ in Beijing, one of the most distinguished positions in the diplomatic service.

Infamous terrorist was army plant

"IT IS as simple as this," the former intelligence officer says. "The British Army took an honest soldier, paid him to become a terrorist and then fed him the information he needed to set up Catholics for assassination. We turned an ordinary man into a monster."

The honest soldier is Brian Nelson - perhaps the army's most infamous agent ever to operate in Ulster. His journey from ordinary man to monster begins at the fag-end of a five-year stint in the Black Watch regiment. It was then that the call came through from the shadowy Force Research Unit, the army's ultra-secret intelligence outfit in Northern Ireland.
