Dictator sent $2m to fund Irish terrorists, documentary claims
MUAMMAR GADDAFI, the deposed Libyan leader, resumed his funding of Irish republican terrorist groups shortly before he was forced into hiding by NATO bombing raids, it has been claimed.

A Libyan government courier flew into London in June with $US2 million ($2.04 million) in cash during a stopover while on route to the Irish Republic, a documentary to be screened in Britain tonight says. The cash was said to be on its way to a businessman, believed to be a supporter of one of the dissident republican terrorist groups responsible for attacks against police in Northern Ireland.

Exposure, a new documentary series, says Colonel Gaddafi, who sent large quantities of weapons to the IRA in the 1970s, wants to exploit the growing unrest in Northern Ireland as a means of attacking Britain for supporting the overthrowing of his regime.

A source at MI6 told the program's producers that in June - when Colonel Gaddafi's forces were suffering regular NATO bombing raids and half his country was in the hands of rebels - a Libyan courier flew to London carrying a suitcase containing banknotes wrapped in plastic. It had been packed in Malta, where many of Colonel Gaddafi's deals were planned. After arriving in London the courier allegedly ''went to ground'' in a property owned by the Gaddafi family in Knightsbridge.
