Green Pimpernel recaptured by Irish police

Seamus Twomey IRA chief known as the Green Pimpernel was arrested by Irish police after a four year hunt near Dublin. The 57 year old former IRA chief of staff escaped from Mountjoy prison in 1973 and had become a folk hero in Belfast and Londonderry. His capture ends hopes for a Christmas cease-fire and underscores a long campaign against the IRA leadership.
