Jim Hanna

James Andrew Hanna (c. 1947 – 1 April 1974), also known as Red Setter, was a senior member of the Northern Irish loyalist paramilitary organisation, the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) until he was shot dead by his subordinates, allegedly for being a criminal informant for British military intelligence. Journalists Joe Tiernan and Kevin Myers have described Hanna as the senior paramilitary leader of the UVF and that he was part of the UVF unit that planted car bombs in Dublin in December 1972 and January 1973 which left three people dead and 145 injured. Tiernan has also alleged that Hanna's primary handlers were four British Army Intelligence Corps officers, who frequently visited his home in Lisburn.
