World in brief
IRA attempted to abduct dissident, police say

February 22, 2004
 
Belfast, Northern Ireland -- The Irish Republican Army tried to abduct a leading IRA dissident from a Belfast bar, Northern Ireland's police chief said Saturday, reviving arguments over whether the outlawed group will ever renounce violence and disband.
Leaders of the moderate Catholic and Protestant parties demanded clear new peace commitments from the IRA after Chief Constable Hugh Orde revealed Friday night's abduction attempt.
Police responding to a telephone call from the pub prevented the gang from escaping by ramming into its van at a nearby intersection. Inside the van, they found four IRA suspects and the would-be abductee, alleged IRA dissident Bobby Tohill.
