Northern Irish police once questioned man because he had showered, declassified documents show Police in Northern Ireland once questioned a suspected loyalist terrorist after noticing the man - not known for his personal hygiene - had showered.
The latest batch of declassified documents also included a revelation that a top British soldier in Northern Ireland accused Tony Blair's government of a "cynical political move" for establishing a new inquiry into the events of Bloody Sunday.
General Sir Rupert Smith, the commander of British troops in Northern Ireland, was invited to dinner with Irish officials in June 1998, near the end of his term.
One suspected loyalist terrorist took a shower immediately after an operation - but because he was on bail he had to report to a police station to sign on.
The revelation was uncovered in newly declassified documents from Ireland's State Papers from the 1990s, the Belfast Telegraph reported.
