Ireland Secret IRA tapes
Ireland Secret IRA tapes
In this photo dated Monday Jan. 16, 2012 a woman and a child walk pass a mural from the Irish Republican Army (IRA) on a wall of a house in West Belfast, Northern Ireland. Police probing the Irish Republican Army’s 1972 killing of Jean McConville, a Belfast mother of 10, want to seize taped interviews with IRA members that Boston College hoped to keep locked up for posterity. Researchers fighting the handover in court next week warn that disclosure could trigger attacks against IRA veterans involved in the secrecy-shrouded project and undermine Northern Ireland’s peace.
