Hunger Strike Ends IRA Talks Stalemate in Northern Ireland

A prisoner at Portlaoise is in serious condition after receiving last rites and being moved to a prison hospital. Police evacuated Newry homes after a hijacked truck incident as bomb scares spread across Britain and Northern Ireland. The IRA campaign, now in its fifth year, seeks Britain’s exit from Northern Ireland.
