Delayed MI5 Files on IRA Agent Stakeknife Raise New Questions

Operation Kenova chief criticizes late disclosure of significant material, potentially affecting ongoing investigation and past findings.

MI5 provided new files on Stakeknife eight years after Operation Kenova began.
The files contain potential new investigative leads, according to initial assessments.
The late disclosure has drawn criticism from Operation Kenova chief Sir Iain Livingstone.
The new information may cast doubt on previous evidence and the interim report's findings.
The timing of the disclosure is troubling, coming weeks before the introduction of the Legacy Act.
