CAPITOL
HILL. APRIL 27, 20003 -- Irish-Americans are demanding
that the U.S. Congress launch an investigation into
how notorious Brian Nelson was allowed to relocate
and live in Florida (if reports in The Sunday Life,
April 27, 2003 are true).
"Why
was a man who specialised -- with the help of the
British Army and Northern Ireland police -- in killing
Catholics allowed to relocate and settle in the United
States when there was such a strict policy of barring
anyone form Northern Ireland with a terrorist record?",
is the question Father Sean Mc Manus, President of
the Capitol Hill-based Irish National Caucus is posing
to key members of Congress involved in the Irish issue.
"This
surely is an urgent question with profound implications
becuse there is danger it could give the impression
that the U.S.-- in harboring Nelson and giving him
safe passage -- was colluding with the British Government's
policy of assassinating Catholics in Northern Ireland.
The Congress has a duty to investigate and find out
the truth", Father Mc Manus concluded.
