No one, including the Libyans or the IRA denies the connection. also your reference to the Boston mob is correct, they supplied arms to the IRA, which were readily accepted. And why not? there was no quid pro quo, the IRA had to do nothing in return other than say thank you. South Boston remains heavily Irish, with decidedly republican sentiments.
But none of this really gets me thinking of why the killers of PC Fletcher are being shielded because of some connection of her killers to the Libyan effort to ship weapons to the IRA. It doesn't wash. The issuing of "comfort letters" to IRA suspects and also to the Libyan seems more coincidental than anything.
