Adams denies IRA targeting judges

Gerry Adams today rejected new claims the IRA has been targeting judges and politicians.
Even though more than 200 top public figures have been warned their names were discovered on a computer disk, the Sinn Fein president insisted the IRA's ceasefire was still intact.
He said: ‘‘It’s my firm belief that the IRA remains disciplined, remains on cessation, remains committed to the peace process.’’
Mr Adams dismissed allegations that forensic scientists and loyalist details were also on the intelligence database seized during a raid on a nationalist area of north Belfast.
The find was made during an investigation into the break-in and theft of confidential files from Special Branch offices at the Castlereagh police complex in east Belfast.
Security sources still believe the IRA took delivery of the documents stolen during the daring raid in March.
The Director of Public Prosecutions is considering a police application for a chef who once worked at Castlereagh to be extradited from the United States to face fresh questioning.
Detectives have already interviewed him twice in New York.
The latest allegations have put the Northern Ireland peace process under fresh strain, with hardline unionists urging British Prime Minister Tony Blair to take tough sanctions against Sinn Fein’s position in the Stormont power-sharing executive.
All pro-Good Friday Agreement parties are due to hold another round of talks with Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and his English counterpart Tony Blair next week in a bid to bolster the political institutions.
But Mr Adams, who is meeting Mr Ahern separately on Monday, claimed the accusations were another attempt to wreck the devolved administration.
‘‘It’s about trying to kill the peace process, that’s what it’s about,’’ he insisted.
‘‘It’s about trying to make things so difficult that foolish people within unionism will bring the crisis in securocrats and in unionism into the political institutions.’’
