Councillor fears collusion
Michael Ferguson, a Sinn Fein Belfast City Councillor, was awoken
at 2.00am on Wednesday morning 8 July by an RUC patrol who
informed him that his details had `gone missing' from their
files. This, they said, was making them concerned for his safety.
The `security file', compiled by the RUC contained all of
Ferguson's personal details.
SF Assembly member Alex Maskey called on British Security
Minister Adam Ingram to explain how the file went missing from an
RUC barracks.
Expressing his concern, Maskey said, ``Over the past number of
years more than 2000 similar `security files have gone missing
from RUC barracks. The vast majority of these files have ended up
in the hands of loyalists.''
