The Mystery of the 1994 Mull of Kintyre Chinook Crash

[Paul Rigby]

Paul - many thanks for all that detail.

Paul Foot's piece suggests the Mull of Kintyre "accident" may have prevented another round of Internment. Which, assuming for the moment that it was foul play, begs some intriguing questions:

Would the IRA have had the capability & hard intelligence information to take out this helicopter?

Or is it far more likely to have been a military/intelligence hit?

If the latter, by whom? Another faction of British intelligence?

Or the spooks of another nation?

Rough guess: Yank decision - made in some haste, by the look of it - but domestic execution, most likely a bomb aboard the helicopter. Identity of the home org? Six, I've always assumed, using a non-SIS "instrumentality."
