Military agent who was out in the cold

Article Abstract:

A colonel from the British Army gave evidence at Belfast Crown Court on Jan 29 92, on the activities and motives of Brian Nelson, a military agent who had infiltrated the Ulster Defence Association (UDA). Nelson, who pleaded guilty to 20 terrorist charges, was described as a courageous man and loyal to the army. Although there are no army guidelines for agents, they are supposed to keep within the law. This was impossible for Nelson, who could only infiltrate the UDA by being involved in criminal activities.
