IRA behind 50 attacks this year, says Orde
The IRA has carried out more than 50 punishment beatings and shootings in the last year, Northern Ireland Chief Constable Hugh Orde claimed today.
As Ulster Unionist Leader David Trimble prepared for talks with Prime Minister Tony Blair at Downing Street in a bid to have Sinn Féin ousted from a review of the Good Friday Agreement, Mr Orde confirmed the scale of violence involving the Provisionals.
