Britain strips power from Irish leaders
Northern Ireland's government was suspended by Britain on Friday, six weeks to bridge the IRA disarmament gap. John Reid announced the move effective at midnight, with potential restoration after talks with Ireland. The action delays the first minister election and tests the Good Friday accord framework amid Sinn Fein and Ulster Unionists disputes.
