Frazer on Obama

Mark Devenport | 12:15 UK time, Friday, 10 October 2008

Victims Campaigner Willie Frazer has turned his ire on Barack Obama over the Senator's support for an inquiry into the murder of the lawyer Pat Finucane. Mr Frazer says the Presidential candidate is "lax" on terrorism and challenges him to support inquiries into the murders of IRA victims like Edgar Graham.

One might be tempted to say this is a bit like the "Skibbereen Eagle" keeping an eye on the Tsar of Russia, but Senator Obama should beware. The victims campaigner has proved a handful for Fr Alec Reid, various nationalist councillors in Newry and Mourne and has kept an eye on negotiators at Leeds Castle and St Andrews. So watch out Senator.
