Sinn Fein decision on Colombia hearing due

Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams is today deciding whether to travel to the US to answer questions about alleged links between his party, the IRA and the Colombian guerilla group Farc.

With just days to go before the Congressional hearing Mr Adams was still refusing to say if he would face a committee probing links between Irish republicans and Farc, following the arrests in Colombia of three Irishmen last year.
