Colombian court date for IRA suspects

Three suspected IRA members charged with teaching bomb-making techniques to Colombia’s left-wing rebels are scheduled to appear in court on October 4, authorities said.

For security reasons, the cases of Niall Connolly, James Monaghan and Martin McCauley were recently moved from the provincial capital of Florencia to the capital Bogota, said Carolina Sanchez, spokeswoman for the national prosecutor’s office.
