flag British intelligence knew in 2002 that a UDR-UVF murder squad linked to a 1991 massacre was reactivating, sparking demands for a full investigation.

flag Newly disclosed documents from 2002 reveal British military intelligence was aware that a joint UDR-UVF murder squad, linked to the 1991 Cappagh bar massacre that killed four men, was preparing to reactivate three years after the Good Friday Agreement. flag A former intelligence officer reported being briefed on the plot and hearing a warrant officer from the Royal Irish Regiment—formed from the UDR—express a desire to “get the team back together” to target Real IRA members. flag The officer also noted a whistleblower’s claim that the man behind the Cappagh attack was still active, calling the peace process a “joke.” The revelations, tied to weapons smuggled with British intelligence support, have renewed calls from victims’ families for a full investigation into UDR and military collusion in sectarian killings, despite prior inquests and ongoing demands for accountability.
