SF 'in clear' over Colombia arrests

Sinn Fein has told a key adviser to US President George W Bush that it does not have any case to answer on the arrests of three Irish terrorist suspects last month in Colombia, a leading party member said today.

North Belfast Assembly member, Gerry Kelly responded to comments from the US President’s special adviser on Northern Ireland, Richard Haass, that there would be ‘‘consequences’’ if the IRA did not sever its links with left wing Farc guerrillas in Colombia.
