Sinn Fein to Reenter Peace Negotiations

Sinn Fein will rejoin Northern Ireland peace talks despite reservations about where they are headed, leaders of the IRA-allied party announced. The Protestant leader of Northern Ireland’s largest party, the Ulster Unionists, urged his supporters to stick with the negotiations. David Trimble said the talks would ensure Northern Ireland’s continued union with Britain. The British and Irish governments suspended Sinn Fein for two weeks last month in punishment for two killings blamed on the Irish Republican Army.
