 The UK Government, Sovereign Immunity, Pinochet and the Dublin & Monaghan Bombings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
It appears that the British government's plan to disown the security force members was inspired by the so-called "Weir affidavit", a lengthy statement made by a former RUC officer and convicted murderer, John Weir which was cited by lawyers acting for the Dublin-Monaghan relatives.
