Peace in North can halt global terror, says Clinton

PEACE needs to be secured in the North to help stop the advancement of global terrorism, Senator Hillary Clinton warned last night.

The former United States First Lady told all sides involved in a new attempt to restore the Stormont power-sharing executive that their success was vital in holding off a major worldwide threat. "What's at stake here in Northern Ireland goes far beyond the potential for lasting peace, justice and the opportunity of economic growth.

"It is a signal event in the unfolding challenge we confront around this world today."
