Militant Protestants threaten Irish ceasefire in Northern Ireland
AP reports Britain’s William Whitelaw failed to secure commitment from Ulster Protestant leaders to uphold a fragile ceasefire. Protestant leaders offered only to consider his plea as Catholic-backed IRA guerrillas blocked Ballymurphy with barricades. No casualties. violence limited to bombs and a single shot. Whitelaw promised a plebiscite on border status, likely September, while IRA Provisional leaders in Dublin unveiled a blueprint for a united Ireland with regional and federal governance, leaving the British exit non negotiable and signaling possible renewed violence.
