The self-admitted MI5 operative also revealed that MI6's involvement in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, which had killed 33 civilians in 1974 and were blamed on the UVF, had been "well established" in his agency.
He listed ways in which British intelligence sought to target republicans, including the covert bugging of arms dumps. British 'dirty tricks' had included efforts to manipulate Irish National Liberation Army leader Dessie O'Hare through his wife, and the murder of Mary McGlinchey, the wife of another INLA leader.
He said he had no concern for "terrorists", but that "the results of our interference with the Enniskillen bomb absolutely shocked and horrified me."
He added: "I am not even sure that I am doing the right thing, but I feel I must do something to make people aware of what is happening, and get it stopped. If I had more courage I would come out openly and prove with more detail what I am now saying."
It is not known what investigation took place into the claims, if any. No official documents on the allegations have ever been released.
Irritation from cold wind and water exposure causes the bone surrounding the ear canal to develop lumps of new bony growth which constrict the ear canal. Where the ear canal is actually blocked by this condition, water and wax can become trapped and give rise to infection. The condition is so named due to its prevalence among cold water surfers. Warm water surfers are also at risk for exostosis due to the evaporative cooling caused by wind and the presence of water in the ear canal.Some questions that could be asked are: Since there is evidence for significant climate shifts throughout history, is it possible that at particular periods Panama wasn't so "balmy"? And are the timings of these temperature variations reflected in those skulls that show signs of EAE? Or could it be that the divers were spending more time in the water than they usually would?
Comment: This discovery comes from a period in history that we seemingly know little about, which is why finds like these are so interesting. As noted in Dark Ages and Inquisitions, Ancient and Modern - Or Why Things are Such a Mess On Our Planet and Humanity is on the Verge of Extinction: See also:
