Brigadier 'led rogue spying on Russia', Liam Clarke. Sunday Times 27.4.03. This piece reports allegations of unauthorised espionage against Russia after the fall of the Berlin wall made by a former RAF intelligence officer in Germany. The allegations are made against Brigadier Gordan Kerr, the commander of the Force Research Unit (FRU) in Northern Ireland during the 1980s. Kerr's activities were exposed when he tried "to use staff and equipment from Brixmis", (the British liaison mission to Soviet forces in Germany). He is reported to have been reprimanded and a promotion was delayed. Clarke also alludes to the burning down of the offices of the Stevens inquiry into the FRU's activities in Northern Ireland in 1989, claiming that it was carried out "by the Controlled Methods of Entry Squad, a sister unit of the FRU based with the Special Intelligence Wing at Ashford."
