N Irish paramilitary group completes weapons dump

BELFAST (Reuters) – One of the most lethal  paramilitary groups in the Northern Ireland conflict is expected  to announce on Monday that it has dumped all its weapons,  sources close to the militants said yesterday.

The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) had said its armed  struggle was over in October but its formal decommissioning will  come just days after Northern Ireland agreed a deal to take full  control of its own police and justice system.

A small but ruthless splinter group, the INLA killed  Margaret Thatcher’s Northern Ireland spokesman Airey Neave with  a bomb under his car in the House of Commons car park weeks  before she was elected Prime Minister in 1979.
