Orde blaming IRA for 'operational' reasons

Northern Ireland's Chief Constable Hugh Orde has said his decision to blame the IRA for the £26.5m (€37.7m) Northen Bank robbery in Belfast before Christmas was not because of political bias.

He said: “This is an operational decision. It is my decision. It is made because we need to get on with the investigation. The peace process is a matter for others.”
