Journalist Eamonn McCann’s article,“Mercenary approach,” in the 10 August edition of Ireland’s current affairs magazine Village discusses the latest news in the ongoing struggle for justice for murdered Belfast man Peter McBride. Writes McCann:
The mother of a teenager shot dead by British soldiers in Belfast has launched a campaign for an inquiry into the alleged killing of civilians by private consultants in Iraq. Jean McBride’s 18-year-old son, Peter McBride, was shot dead by members of the Scots Guards regiment in the New Lodge Road area in September 1992. The men’s commander, Lt Col Tim Spicer, now heads the company at the centre of the Iraq allegations.
