Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams warned the British government may expel his party from Northern Ireland peace talks over IRA killings. Police accuse the IRA of breaching the seven month cease fire by killing a drug dealer and a Protestant militant last week. Adams questioned why peace would benefit from Sinn Fein being dumped from negotiations as Britain and Ireland push to forge governance acceptable to both Protestant and Catholic communities. He noted that Northern Ireland’s largest Protestant party and others warned they would exit talks if Sinn Fein stayed.
