Stakeknife: Agent to be quizzed about 24 murders

The most high-ranking British agent within the IRA is to be investigated in connection with the murders of at least 24 people.

Northern Ireland's director of public prosecutions wants the new inquiry to look at what information the army, MI5 and the Royal Ulster Constabulary's Special Branch received from the agent - known as Stakeknife.

He has denied being an IRA informer.
