Army's top IRA spy cost more lives than he saved, says report | ITV News

A major report into the Army’s top agent in Northern Ireland during the Troubles has been published revealing lives were needlessly lost. It found those responsible for killings were allowed to remain free to continue with their terrorist activities. The report found there should have been 'alarm bells' ringing within those security organisations responsible. It said claims Stakeknife saved 'hundreds of lives' were unjustified. And the agent carried out countless attacks and killings. It said lives saved by the activities of the agent would have been in low figures. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/itvnews Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/
