Boston College ordered to hand over IRA interview recordings.

[Urbanguerrilla]

The US attorney’s office is attempting to wrest confidential oral histories about the Troubles in Northern Ireland from Boston College.

Some new court filings show the feds, acting on behalf of some law enforcement entity in Northern Ireland that dares not speak its name, now want the whole enchilada: They want anything and everything in the BC secret archive related to the 1972 disappearance and murder of Jean McConville, who was abducted and executed by the Irish Republican Army as a suspected informer. Her body was recovered in 2003.
