[…] of the Munster and Leinster Bank to handle funds from the North for weapons purchases. Having drawn a blank at weapons supplies from America, and uncovered an MI6 agent called Captain Peter Markham-Randall who came to Dublin posing as an arms dealer, Northern representatives began negotiating with a Hamburg arms dealer called Otto Schleuter […]
[…] human rights and press freedom sites; newsgroups. Includes Richard Tomlinson’s May 1999 declaration to French magistrate on the death of Princess Diana (www.inside-news.ch/Tomlinson/Tomlinson_deposition.htm) and the list of MI6 officers (www.inside-news.ch/Tomlinson/List/Liste_Alpha.htm).
