IRA Chief Weak Despite Hunger Strike Strong Signals of Violence
Dublin AP reports IRA chief Sean MacStiofain remains very weak after a nine day hunger and thirst strike but is not in immediate danger of death doctors say. Renewed violence follows his six month sentence for IRA membership with gun battles in Belfast and a botched raid on Dublin’s Mater Hospital. Police describe casualties including a gunman captured and bystanders wounded as British troops pursue IRA units. Across Northern Ireland ambushes kill a 14 year old and wound his brother and father on Shankill Road, raising three year collision deaths to 640.
