British government and Catholic Church conspired to cover up priest's involvement in bombing

~




The British government and the Catholic Church colluded to cover up Father Jim Chesney's role in the 1972 bombing that killed nine people, it was revealed today




A priest suspected of being an IRA leader and masterminding a bombing atrocity was allowed to escape arrest after a secret deal was struck between police, the Government and the Catholic Church, a report revealed today.

Father James Chesney was the ‘prime suspect’ after nine people, including an eight-year-old girl, were killed and 30 injured when three car bombs exploded in the quiet Northern Ireland village of Claudy in July 1972.
