Sinn Fein Faults Family Seeking Killers’ Arrest
A Sinn Fein leader criticized the family of a Catholic man killed by IRA members, warning that their campaign for an arrest in his death could diminish support for their cause.
The comments from Sinn Fein’s deputy leader, Martin McGuinness, came as the party admitted that another of its members was in the pub where Irish Republican Army members killed Robert McCartney.
All five McCartney sisters and their brother’s fiancee are scheduled to meet President Bush at a St. Patrick’s Day reception at the White House on Thursday.
