Victims Testify Against Adams in IRA Bombing Case

0:00On March 10, Jonathan Ganesh, injured in the 1996 Docklands bombing, testified this week at London's High Court in a civil suit, against former Sen-Fain leader Gary Adams. He joined two other victims from IRA attacks in the 1973 Old Bailey bombing and the 1996 Manchester Arndale blast. The men claim Adams held a top leadership role in the provisional IRA, including on its Army Council, during those incidents. After seeking just one pound in symbolic damages, while Adams firmly denies any IRA involvement and is fighting the case, Ganesh explained his drive came from unease over Adams suing the UK government, which he saw as unfair to innocent victims like himself. Even after his injuries, Ganesh supported Northern Ireland's peace process and the good Friday agreement, despite the early release of the Docklands. Bomber. He held off on legal action hoping for lasting peace. Adams attended the hearing, as did DUP leader Gavin Robinson and MP Gregory Campbell.
