    30 May 1972. Official IRA Announce Ceasefire

    The official wing of the IRA in Northern Ireland has announced a ceasefire, reserving the right of self-defence against attacks by the British Army and sectarian groups.
    However the Provisional IRA dismissed the truce as having "little effect" on the situation.

    The Northern Ireland Secretary, William Whitelaw, welcomed the move and a spokesperson said it was "a step in the right direction".

    Sniper's world record kill

    A CRACK shot saved his Brit commander from two Taliban gunmen by shooting them dead from a world record MILE and a HALF away.

    Hero sniper Craig Harrison, 35, nailed the killers with a rifle bullet each as the pair manned a machine gun - then for good measure let rip a third shot that took out their weapon.

    His marksmanship was all the more amazing because the enemy were firing on his trapped troop leader from 3,000ft BEYOND his rifle's effective range.

    Mental trauma 'not rife among UK troops'

    Alcohol misuse is a problem among UK troops who have been in Afghanistan and Iraq, but serious mental disorders are not as common as feared, a study says.
    Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) rates are low despite many deployments in foreign combat zones, a study in The Lancet based on 10,000 personnel found. They are significantly lower than those reported among US troops, it adds. The King's College research, funded by the MoD, said more emphasis should be placed on drinking problems than PTSD. ...

    Londonderry poll centre device 'left five days ago'

    A dissident republican group says a device found at a leisure centre in Londonderry on Monday had been left by the organisation five days ago. Police said they searched Templemore sports complex last Thursday - when the centre was used for an election count - after a coded warning about a bomb. But they said the original information was misleading. They said the device, hidden in the ceiling of toilets, did not contain a detonator and could not have exploded. ...

    Car bomb explodes near Northern Ireland MI5 base

    A car bomb has exploded near an Army base in Holywood, County Down, forcing the evacuation of several homes. The blast seems to have been timed to coincide with the precise moment that policing and justice powers devolved from Westminster to Stormont. It happened at about 0020 BST outside Palace Barracks, where MI5 has its NI headquarters. A warning was given. The Real IRA has admitted the attack. An elderly man was treated in hospital for minor injuries. The bomb was placed in a taxi, which was hijacked in the Ligoniel area of north Belfast, about seven miles from Holywood, at about 2150 BST. ...
