Letter: IRA cash source

Sir: While it is encouraging to read of the expressions of sympathy by Eta for the Spanish victims of the Omagh outrage ("Madrid sheds tears for Spanish teacher and pupil", 19 August), I am reminded of the curious "reasoning" of terrorist groups suggested by Orwell's 1945 Notes on Nationalism - "The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing them".
