— Congressman Henry Hyde (R, Illinois) has summoned Gerry Adams to appear before a House International Relations Committee hearing on the IRA’s relationship with FARC terrorists in Colombia (Times Online)
Mr Adams, the president of Sinn Fein, has been told to attend a hearing on Capitol Hill next month and prepare to answer the question: “What did you know and when did you know it?” The hearing has been called after outrage in the United States over the discovery last year of three IRA suspects in the area of Colombia controlled by Farc.
Congress wasn’t interested in the IRA as long as it was simply a matter of Americans sending money to finance the bombing of English schoolchildren, but interfering with the Drug War is a whole different can of worms. Link courtesy of Iain Murray.
