Dispute over IRA arsenal reignites Northern Ireland tensions
In 1987 an IRA weapons shipment from Libya aboard the Eksund was seized by French authorities off Brittany as crewmen flooded ballast tanks to scuttle 150 tons of guns and explosives. The seizure underscored long standing security struggles, with disarmament talks faltering amid political wrangling and new Colombia arrests raising fears of arms trafficking. The episode strains the peace process and complicates Sinn Fein ties with the Bush administration.

Iraq resumes talks on missing prisoners without U S Britain
Iraq says it will resume discussions on the fate of hundreds missing since the 1991 Gulf War but excludes the United States and Britain from the negotiating table. Baghdad and Kuwait each claim prisoners held by the other side. Iraq cites 600 Kuwaitis and other nationals. The move follows a U N letter from Foreign Minister Naji Sabri blaming U S and British hurdles for stalled talks.
