When people realize that when their words and actions fuel terrorism, THEY WILL PAY!
Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams has been ordered to give evidence in a £10m civil case against the alleged Real IRA members suspected of carrying out the 1998 Omagh bombing.
Sinn Fein MPs Martin McGuinness and Pat Doherty and two other republicans, Brian Gillen and Brian Keenan, have also been ordered to appear in court for the case, which was taken by relatives of some of the 29 victims.
Papers served in Belfast claim that Mr Adams and the other four led the Provisional IRA when Michael McKevitt, another leading republican, allegedly quit to set up the Real IRA.
Mr McKevitt, who is currently awaiting trial in Dublin for directing the activities of an illegal organisation, is one of the five people being sued by the Omagh relatives.
Mr Adams and his colleagues have been called to give evidence about five secret IRA meetings in 1996 and 1997 which led to McKevitt's resignation 10 months before the Omagh blast.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Sinn Féin linked to acts of political violence - Thousands shocked - "I'll never give those bastards money again," says Carl from Queens, "I had no idea anyone had ever alleged that Sinn Féin was in any way related to republican violence."
I thought that Mr. Adams and others were served with mere Witness Summones to come to the trial of the action to give evidence. They are not named as Defendants and it is not claimed they are responsible for the Plaintiff's Loss.
How are they going to pay? Will it be the first case is history in which Witnesses are order to pay compensation to the Plaintiff instead of the Defendant?
...instead of plagiarising my work.
