"The three claimants who were injured in three IRA bombings in the 1970s and 1990s were seeking a finding on the balance of probabilities that Adams was personally liable for the bombings as a senior member of the IRA."
"Adams, who became the president of Sinn Fein in 1983 when it was the IRA's political wing, was for many years the best-known face of the movement seeking to end British rule in Northern Ireland."
Three men who were injured in IRA bombings in Britain have withdrawn their lawsuit against Gerry Adams. The claimants sought to establish Adams' personal liability as a senior IRA member. Adams, who led Sinn Fein since 1983, has consistently denied being a member of the Provisional IRA. After a civil trial where Adams provided evidence, the claimants' lawyer announced the discontinuation of the proceedings in the high court in London.
