BELFAST (AFP) - The shoot-to-kill strategy against suicide bombers which has been adopted by British police following the London bombings will only provoke terrorists, a former IRA bomber warns.
Marion Price, who was at the vanguard of the Irish Republican Army’s bombing campaign in Britain in the 1970s, warned that there was no better recruiting officer for terrorists than heavy-handed security forces.
“The repression in Ireland was the best recruitment agent for the IRA that I have experienced. So if that is the road they are going down, they’ll know what to expect,” she told AFP in an interview on Wednesday.
Marion seems a bit nostalgic for the old days.
