INLA to confirm destruction of remaining weapons

THE INLA will later today declare its terror arsenal has finally been destroyed.

Responsible for some of the most infamous attacks of the Troubles, the paramilitary group’s move was being verified by arms decommissioner General John de Chastelain and comes four and a half years after the IRA took a similar step on the road to peace.

More than 120 people died at the hands of the INLA, including then Conservative Northern Ireland spokesman and close adviser to Margaret Thatcher, Airey Neave, who was blown up in a car bombing at the Houses of Parliament in London in 1979.
