McBride family welcome US intervention
30th August 2004 --
Jean Mc Bride, mother of murdered Belfast teenager Peter Mc Bride, has welcomed
the intervention of a number of US Senators who have called for an investigation
into the award of a US DoD Iraq contract to a firm led by Tim Spicer, a former
Scots Guards officer who was CO in Belfast when her son was murdered. Spicer
later claimed that the murder by soldiers under his command was justified, that
Peter Mc Bride 'probably' had a weapon which locals disposed of, that he had
lured his soldiers into a trap and that Wright and Fisher should never have been
prosecuted. Spicer's claims, which caused great hurt to the family, were
rejected at trial. Responding today Jean Mc Bride said,
"Peter's anniversary is this coming Saturday and it is comforting to see such
high profile support from the US. We are awaiting judgement from the courts in
the battle to have Wright and Fisher kicked out of the British Army and its
great to see that our family is not alone. Even the US presidential candidate
John Kerry, has taken this on board and spoken out against this contract. Surely
some day soon justice will be done."
