Army goes to war over SAS man's revelations
Article Abstract:
The United Kingdom defense ministry has censored a book on the operations of British forces in Northern Ireland. An account of the killing of three men suspected of being in the irish Republican Army (IRA) has been suppressed. The author of the book 'Secret Warfare: Special Operations Forces from the Great Game to the SAS' is Adrian Weale. He is also critical of Peter de la Billiere and his account of the shooting of a farmer's son by men from the SAS. De Billiere claims that the boy had been an IRA member, but Weale reports that the boy himself had reported an arms find to the security services and was shot when he returned to the find.

The bent coppers who still turn up
Article Abstract:
Investigators responsible for uncovering corruption among UK police officers have established that up to 200 corrupt officers could be implicated in a range of offences, including drug dealing and issuing threats of violence. Corrupt officers do not flaunt their money, as was the case in the past, and tend to have large sums in overseas banks. However, they are still as arrogant as corrupt officers were in the past. It is now likely that a large number of officers will be arrested.

In the shadow of Satan
Article Abstract:
Police believe that a series of sinister rituals which took place in the town of Lewes, England, which has ancient pagan traditions, may have been the work of a single schoolboy. Some local people had feared that the town had become the focus of activity by a Satanist sect. It is believed that the schoolboy had exerted considerable influence over an environmental activist who believed that somebody was trying to kill him and later plunged to his death from a clifftop.
