顯露的秘密政府IRA鏈接的程度
星期二, 2008年3月18日
一秘密20年「後面渠道」的充分的程度在英國的政府和IRA之間由托尼・布萊爾的前參謀長今天顯露,宣稱和平進程不也許已经是可能的沒有鏈接。 在鏈接的第一個權威的帳戶由英國的官員,喬納森Powell告訴監護人Derry商人、Brendan Duddy和一系列的MI5和MI6官員在私有冒他們的生活的風險允許英國的政府和IRA領導溝通在1973年和1993年之間。 在最新的萃取物從他的回憶錄,連載在監護人這個星期, Powell寫: 當那些小組是寂靜的殺害無辜的人民時, 「承認談話與恐怖分子小組民主政府是非常堅硬的。 「幸運地為這個過程,英國的政府的後面渠道對臨時IRA是存在,每當從1973年要求向前」。 秘密鏈接只使用了三個主要場合: 談判一次IRA停火在70年代中期; 1980年在第一IRA绝食期間; 并且進入和平進程的早期在90年代。 但Powell寫道,事實鏈接從領導對唐寧街的IRA存在了-主要通過Duddy和他的MI6經理邁克爾Oatley -是巨大的意義。 Powell寫道: 「它,隱喻地,在一個鎖著的箱子包含了,鑰匙是為Brendan Duddy所具有和在哪些之後,無論哪裡他偶然是在世界上,是Oatley,為IRA所知作為`爬山者』」。 1993年鏈接劃分了,當馬丁McGuinness, Sinn F時?在首要談判員,憤怒地起反應到要求他傳送了信息據稱說IRA 「衝突是」。 Duddy在今天監護人出版的採訪告訴BBC的彼得・泰勒,他被詢問了四個小時由四「非常資深Provisionals」,在他錯誤地被懷疑傳送信息之後。 Powell承認消息在爭執,但他說它放置了地面為和平進程。 「什麼在做成功的那則消息,配齊或沒有,是得到英國的政府的注意。 約翰少校真正地認為: ‘Gosh, here is a chance that we can make a breakthrough in Northern Ireland’.” The DUP leader, Ian Paisley, condemned Major for the secret back channel when it was revealed in 1993. But Powell reveals in his memoirs that 10 years later the DUP established its own secret channel to Sinn F?in when Paisley’s party won the elections to the Northern Ireland assembly of 2003. The channel was kept secret because the DUP refused to meet Sinn F?in at the time on the grounds that the IRA was still active. Powell says: “They [the DUP] were no different from the British government at the time of John Major or Margaret Thatcher saying they never had contacts with the IRA - but actually [they were] doing so as well. It did play an important role in making possible that extraordinary meeting between Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams. They had never met, they had never spoken until they sat down for that photo-opportunity in March 2007. If you hadn’t had that back channel building confidence over time, it would have been difficult.” Have Your Say: Extent of secret Government IRA links revealed Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
