BRITAIN
Three Irish Republican Army dissidents received 30-year prison sentences after being convicted of trying to smuggle weapons from Slovakia to mount attacks in England.
The three--Fintan O’Farrell, 39; Declan Rafferty, 42; and Michael McDonald, 44, all members of the Real IRA--pleaded guilty last week to charges of trying to obtain illegal weapons and conspiring to cause explosions in England.
They were caught in an undercover sting by British intelligence.
