Glenanne Group

The Glenanne Group was a covert team active in Northern Ireland during the 1970s, composed mainly of members from the British Army, RUC police, and Protestant paramilitary groups. They carried out a series of violent attacks, including bombings and shootings, primarily targeting Catholic civilians and nationalist communities. Their actions were part of the broader conflict known as The Troubles, a political and sectarian struggle over Northern Ireland's status. The group's existence and activities have been the subject of investigation and controversy, highlighting the complex, often secretive nature of state and paramilitary interactions during this turbulent period.
