Haass to quiz SF over Colombia arrests

US President George W Bush’s special envoy to the North will today ask Sinn Fein to reveal all it knows about the three Irishmen charged with training rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).

Two of the men have past links with the IRA and Sinn Fein and Richard Haass will ask the party what the men were doing in rebel-held territory in Colombia.
