Court shown video of masked men admitting IRA membership

The Special Criminal Court in Dublin was today shown a video of three masked men, including one carrying an AK 47 rifle, who told BBC journalists they were the Real IRA and ``capable of waging war against the British state’.

The court was told the interview was carried out by BBC 'Spotlight' and 'Panorama' journalists at a house in the Creggan area of Derry the night before four men were arrested by gardaí near Bridgend in Co Donegal.
