Irish car bomb explod
after peace talks resum
BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP)
— A car bomb exploded in a
staunchly pro-British Protestant
town yesterday, a few hours after
peace talks on Northern Ireland’s
future resumed.
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.
