AI Summary:
MI5 protected an IRA double agent who committed murders during Northern Ireland’s Troubles. The findings are from Operation Kenova, a nearly decade-long police probe. About 3,500 people were killed in the violence before it ended with the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. Operation Kenova criticised MI5 for delaying release of key documents. Report said there is a “compelling ethical case” to publicly name Stakeknife.
