Adams: Fish-shop bomber's rearrest is stupid

The re-arrest of IRA fish shop bomber Sean Kelly is one of the most stupid things Northern Secretary Peter Hain has done since taking over at Stormont, Gerry Adams claimed today.

As Mr Hain prepared to brief key opinion formers in the United States on the state of the peace process, the Sinn Féin leader also insisted Mr Hain was not in any position to impose a testing period for republicans in the event of a groundbreaking IRA statement in the coming weeks.
