| 2003-08-04 |
| DUBLIN (AP) - Irish police Sunday arrested 10 men while raiding a suspected training camp for a breakaway Irish Republican Army group that has been mounting sporadic attacks in neighboring Northern Ireland. The men, suspected members of the Continuity IRA, were gathered inside the woods near Clonmel, County Tipperary, at a secluded site being used for firearms training, police said. Two rifles and two shotguns were seized at the site, police said. Guess it’s not a long way to Tipperary. Two dissident Irish Republican Army groups - the Continuity IRA and Real IRA - oppose the 1998 peace accord for Northern Ireland and have been trying to destabilize the British territory with occasional bombings and shootings. "And faith knows we’e the real IRA." "Aye, faith knows you’re an imposter, anyone can see that we’re the real IRA." "Sean Patrick, I’ve a mind to drop you here and now, we’re the real IRA." "Is that so, John Patrick, why I’ve a mind to .. [BLAM]" Most of their attacks have been thwarted by police. |

| #2 "Most of their attacks have been thwarted by police." Ho-hum. What, me worry, Mr. AP? We're supposed to feel good about that? Senseless writing. I think he forgot to say that the cops have to be lucky every time, but the perps only once. Care to mention, Mr. AP, which attacks have not been thrwarted? Does Omagh come to mind? |
