I take it you meant “forces” and not “faeces”?
The team on board were seen as an obstacle to the peace process by the (UK) intelligence community and the US Special Forces have a sordid history of “helping” their “allies” with politically expedient solutions – there is a relevant precedent for this:
Airey Neave was not impressed by the performance in NI of MI5 and MI6;
He planned to replace the heads in a major shake up;
The mercury tilt switch that triggered the bomb which killed him was identifiable;
It was a special that the CIA had just got hold of;
It could only have come from the Americans.
