No talks if killing goes on, IRA told
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A SCIMITAR light tank of the Household Cavalry on the Heathrow perimeter road yesterday as the search continued for more IRA mortars. The Ministry of Defence said the tanks, based near by at Windsor, were there for driver training.
The police have resisted calls for an Army presence in Heathrow security since the three mortar attacks and have received only specialised searching equipment and its operators.
The Government yesterday rejected an IRA demand for negotiations, saying there would be no talks until the violence was halted. Constitutional nationalist opinion in Northern Ireland is divided over whether the airport mortar attacks and the IRA's statement accusing the Government of having a 'negative attitude' to the peace process mark the end of hopes for peace.
