Adams 'complicit' in IRA bomb plots

Clinton thought he was a terror boss, court told

BILL Clinton had credible evidence that Gerry Adams had high-level involvement in the IRA in the 90s, the High Court has heard.

Opening a civil claim against the former Sinn Fein leader yesterday, prosecutor Anne Studd KC read a 1993 letter from the then-US president to the mayor of New York.

It said: “Credible evidence exists that Adams remains involved at the highest level in devising PIRA [Provisional Irish Republican Army] strategy.”

Representing three men injured in bomb blasts they say Adams was involved in, Ms Studd claimed he was “directly responsible for and complicit in those decisions made by that organisation to detonate bombs on the British mainland in 1973 and 1996”.
