IRA murders revealed. (Insider Report).

"Gerry Adams, the Sinn Fein president, formed a special unit within the IRA which was responsible for the execution of a mother of 10 in 1972," reported the September 30th London Daily Telegraph. Although Adams has always claimed that he was "interned" (incarcerated) at the time of the murder of Mrs. Jean McConville, Adams was "very much at large at the time," insists journalist Ed Moloney in his new book A Secret History of the IRA.

Jean McConville, a Protestant, married a Catholic and raised a family of 10 children with him in Belfast before becoming a widow in the early 1970s. Shortly before the murder of Mrs. McConville, the IRA had warned the widow to stop cooperating with British Army units trying to uproot the terrorist group. After she continued to cooperate with anti-IRA efforts, McConville became one of 10 civilians in Belfast murdered and secretly buried by the "Unknowns," a secret cell within the IRA set up by Adams to carry out special tasks.

Adams became the commander of the Provisional IRA in November 1972, a month before Jean McConville disappeared. "Whether, as alleged by one well-informed source, or not the order was given by Adams himself, it was inconceivable that such an order would have been issued without his knowledge," writes Moloney.

Like Yasir Arafat, Nelson Mandela, and other supposedly reformed terrorists, Adams has been christened a "statesman" and frequently visited the White House over the past decade.
