Description:
More lives were probably lost than saved through the British Army’s operation of its top agent inside the IRA’s internal security unit during the Troubles, a major independent investigation has found. Operation Kenova examined the role of Stakeknife, widely believed to be west Belfast man Freddie Scappaticci, who was embedded in the IRA’s so-called “nutting squad”, responsible for interrogating, torturing and murdering people suspected of passing information to security forces during the conflict.
