Four Square Laundry

(

)

... that the Four Square Laundry in Belfast was a front company for a British Army intelligence unit?

DYK entry fine. After that though, if this laundry and massage parlour were the only things this MRF had going for them, I'd put it all under the MRF title unless you can make the MRF thing more lengthy than the both of them. Cheers good luck ~ R.T.G 13:36, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Hold on! I'd make the hook ... that a British Army intellegence unit ran a front company in Belfast, the Four Square... or that effect? ~ R.T.G 13:39, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

I have a concern that the article is using non-neutral sources namely An Phoblacht which is an Irish Republican newspaper which has been known for pro-IRA propoganda Kernel Saunters (talk) 10:35, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

I did consider that... all material in that paragraph can also be referenced from the Faligot book, so I have replaced the reference. --Canley (talk) 11:48, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

I know Sapper Edward Stuart (the driver) was killed in the attack but I can find no details on the other claimed deaths including the Sutton Index of deaths an autoritive study that lists all deaths in the Troubles?? Sutton Kernel Saunters (talk) 13:20, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

There are also no details of anyone killed in the Massage parlour. This contradicts most sources on this incident as does the claims about the laundry van attack Kernel Saunters (talk) 13:34, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Good points, thank you. I have rewritten to clarify that the British Army has only confirmed the death of the van driver (Stuart), and that the other deaths were claimed by the IRA but not independently confirmed. --Canley (talk) 22:28, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
