Terrorist freed from Maze prison under Good Friday accord
Michael Stone, a pro-British paramilitary, was released from Maze prison after 11 years of a life sentence for six killings, part of about 80 prisoners freed under the 1998 peace accord. Critics say the release rewards violence while IRA arms decommissioning remains unsettled amid cease-fire observations.

G8 summit fades as Mideast talks steal the show
Okinawa host leaders convened the year’s top gathering of rich nations but failed to deliver a clear agenda. Critics say the summit produced a long list of goals with little funding or concrete action, highlighted by late arrivals and scattered commitments on debt relief, health, and trade talks.

Murder suspect in Florida standoff releases two hostages
A Florida hostage siege enters its third day as Jamie Dean Petron holed up with three captives in a suburban Orlando home. He freed an 8 year old boy and a girl under one unharmed, aided by a live TV appeal, while a 16 year old girl and a 9 month old remained inside. Police say he warned he won’t hesitate to harm hostages. Petron, suspected in a Friday murder at a Pompano Beach store, fired at a robot during negotiations and told officials he plans to release others after a taped statement airs. Authorities continue efforts with SWAT and a robot in play.
