Subject: RE: BS: Provisionals condemn McCartney murder
The IRA have owned up to one unlawful killing.
Poor 14 year old Kathleen Feenan, 30 years ago.

One of their snipers hoped to kill a soldier patrolling the streets of Derry. He missed the whole patrol, but killed the girl.
The patrol returned fire but the volunteer managed to run away.

Rather than admit the crime, the IRA used it to stir up hatred against the army, claiming that a soldier fired the shot.
Her parents say that it added to their pain.
The IRA also executed a soldier in "reprisal"

Curator, you have an insight into IRA policy, telling us in advance what they are going to say. Why have they suddenly admitted this?
Did you already know the story was a lie?

Keith.
