Three victims of Provisional IRA bombings in England will discontinue their damages claim against former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams, their lawyers have told the High Court. Mr Adams was being sued for £1 in damages by three men injured in the blasts in the 1970s and 1990s. Mr Adams was not in court on Friday. She continued that the men believed that Mr Adams was “as involved as the people who planted and detonated those bombs”. Edward Craven KC, for Mr Adams, told the court in London that evidence that Mr Adams was involved in the bombings was “extremely limited and we say bordering on non-existent”.
