Top secret intelligence unit will quit Belfast for new role in Iraq
http://www.khilafah.com/home/category.php?DocumentID=11134&TagID=2

THE most secret military unit serving in Northern Ireland is to be pulled out of the Province and posted to Iraq and to other operational missions overseas.

The Joint Support Group (JSG), which runs agents under the control of the Intelligence Corps, is one of a number of units expected to leave Belfast as part of the “normalisation process” under which the Government plans to cut troop levels by more than half to about 5,000.

Paul Murphy, the Northern Ireland Secretary, announced in February that MI5 will take over primacy for national security intelligence in Northern Ireland by 2007.

The JSG is the successor of the Force Research Unit (FRU), which acquired notoriety in the 1980s amid allegations that the unit of about 40 intelligence officers colluded with Special Branch officers of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the loyalist terrorist Ulster Defence Association (UDA) in the murder of several republicans.

1. In behalf of despots & monsters everywhere, thank you Labour Party!
May Labour perish forever as a political party in England, shame on them to the nth degree, shame on the apologists for Blair. Labour now has the credibility of the Vichy government, the Quisling regime in Norway, the Bush White House.
