Police said no injuries were re ported from the blast in Portadown, 30 miles southwest of Belfast, but one building was badly damaged by fire. “Flames are shooting into the sky... .1 have seen people in tears, peo ple are shocked and stunned,” said Portadown Mayor Kenneth Twydle. Several telephoned warnings to Belfast media allowed police to evacuate nearby streets before the explosion. In Belfast, peace negotiations re sumed yesterday with the IRA-allied Sinn Fein party excluded because of two killings this month blamed on the Irish Republican Army. David Trimble, leader of the largest Protestant party, the Ulster Unionists said the bombing “un derscored the silliness” of plans to let Sinn Fein return to the talks with in two weeks. Trimble, who represents Portad own in the British Parliament, said an unclaimed car-bomb attack on one Protestant town Friday and the bombing today are “the IRA’s re sponse to the conduct of the talks.” Brid Rodgers, a Roman Catholic and local official in the Portadown area, said attacking Portadown “ap pears to have been designed to cause maximum provocation and to draw other extremists into a re sponse against the north’s innocent Catholic population.” Sinn Fein is demanding to meet with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and says that otherwise it might not return to the talks March 9, the date specified by the governments. Blair’s Downing Street office said he was considering their request. Ulster Unionist negotiator Ken Maginnis said a Blair-Sinn Fein meeting now during the “quaran tine period” would “fatally under mine” the negotiating effort. “If the prime minister leads a gutless government then of course he may well bow to the dictates of Sinn Fein-IRA,” Maginnis said.
