[quote=Anonymous]No to sidetrack this and if anyone wants to start a spin off thread I'm happy to contribute more. But the "IRA" is hardly disarmed. The Provisional IRA (Provos), which was the main branch of the IRA at the time - think Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness - did turn in casts amounts of weapons and explosives. However, there are several other splinter IRA groups still active. The Real IRA and the Conintuity IRA. Neither group supported the GFA or disarment. There is good evidence that Provos turned some of their weapons over to the RIRA. And they have been several attacks by them over recent years. Morta attacks, pipe bombs, and the murder of 2 off duty Britisg soldiers a couple of years ago.

There are also several other Republican groups still active. INLA, RAAD, etc.

Technically I think the RIRA is calling itself the New IRA now.

Sorry, that turned out longer than I planned and I certainly don't want to make it seem I believe any faction of the IRA was involved with this. Just wanted to clear up some misconceptions.[/quote]
