Search underway for body of IRA victim

 
A search is underway on a beach in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, for the body of a man who was allegedly abducted and killed by the mainstream Provisional IRA in 1973.

The man, Peter Wilson, from west Belfast disappeared in August 1973. It has been alleged that the IRA were responsible for his killing although the organisation has denied this.

The Disappeared mainly consist of over a dozen people who were abducted and murdered by the IRA and INLA in Northern Ireland. Most of the dead were accused of being police informants. Some, such as SAS Captain Robert Nairac, were members of the British security services.
