IRA Denies Responsibility for Bank Heist
By Associated Press

January 18 2005, 6:40 PM EST

DUBLIN, Ireland -- The Irish Republican Army on Tuesday formally denied responsibility for the $50 million robbery of a Belfast bank, a crime that has thrown Northern Ireland's peace process into disarray.
The outlawed IRA, which last month issued a denial through a spokesman, issued its formal statement amid criticism that the first denial didn't come from a sufficiently authoritative source.
"We were not involved," the IRA's seven-man command said in a statement given to British and Irish media.
The British and Irish governments and virtually every political party has accepted a finding by Northern Ireland's police chief that the IRA did rob the central vault of the Northern Bank. The raid netted $50 million, the biggest all-cash robbery in history.
So far Northern Ireland police have recovered none of the cash and made no arrests.
