The Internal Security Unit (ISU) was the name given to the counter-intelligence and interrogation unit of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). This unit was often referred to as the Nutting Squad. The unit is thought to have had jurisdiction over both Northern and Southern Commands of the IRA, (encompassing the whole of Ireland), and to have been directly attached to IRA General Headquarters (GHQ). ==Duties of the ISU== The group was believed to have had a number of briefs: # Security and character vetting of new recruits to the IRA, # Collecting and collating material on failed and compromised IRA operations, # Collecting and collating material on suspect or compromised individuals (informers), # Interrogation and debriefing of suspects and compromised individuals, # Carrying out killings and lesser punishments of those judged guilty by IRA courts martial. The ISU was believed to have unlimited access to the members, apparatus, and resources of the IRA in carrying out its duties. Its remit could not be countermanded except by order of the Army Council. Depositions obtained as part of its operation would ideally be noted on paper, and if possible recorded for the purposes of propaganda. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Internal Security Unit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
