    Impossible, in a self respecting EU country one can not be retrospectively prosecuted. That sort of carry-on is strictly the prerogative of dictatorships with zero respect for human rights. If it's not illegal today you can't fall faul of a law enacted tomorrow.

    By the way, very few people involved in the conflict in the north have ever been convicted of "terrorism" offences. Quite a few convictions were for "ordinary" offences like unlawful possession of firearms or explosives, murder, assault, robbery etc etc. Convictions for ordinary offences are a lot easier to secure burden of proof wise since the whole political discussion about the motivation for certain acts or conspiracies simply doesn't enter into the equation. Letting of an IED for example, depending on the outcome, would be covered by criminal damage, causing an explosion, murder, attempted murder etc etc....

    Spain has a habit of doing this against Basques

    Three left, two of whom have been the subject of searches already so some information has been provided.

    No information on Nairac.

    The only saving grace as regards this...is by and large they appear to have been buried in bogs and will hopefully be some bit preserved so as they can be recovered
