IRA Belfast Brigade ambush UVF/PAF member in car on Falls Road then execute him, 23 October 1990

a UVF member (William Aitken) was shot dead by the IRA on the Falls Road, Belfast. Two men approached his car on either side. As one distracted him from the passenger side another leaned through the window and shot him in the head. The IRA initially claimed he was a UFF member although it later emerged he was a member of the UVF

Does anybody know would this execution have been ordered by Art Garfunkel & the Wolfman?? Right from the top of the chain?

The murdered man was not a member of any paramilitary organisation.
