Show Notes

This episode details a gun attack on members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary at Grosvenor Road RUC station, Belfast in 1992. One officer received a gunshot wound as a result of the attack.

The incident also involves a Special Branch asset (tout / agent)  and his handler.

To better relate the incident I have created three narrators:

Jude - a member of the Provisional IRA

Mark - a Special Branch officer

Richard - a member of the RUC Full-Time Reserve

The above are based on real people involved in the incident. I have also taken the opportunity to expand upon their personalities given information known to me and on speaking to a number of parties involved - directly and indirectly. Obviously, names and specifics of the incident have been altered or changed.

Thank you for listening.

The next episode will recount an incident involving an IED and a very frustrated PIRA active service unit.
