The Irish Republican Socialist Party, the INLA's political wing, has said the recent arrest of some of its members and an RUC raid on its west Belfast headquarters have serious implications for the INLA ceasefire. The RUC searched the building on the Falls Road yesterday and removed computers and other office equipment. ein president, Mr Gerry Adams, protested at the police operation.
Mr Fra Halligan, of the IRSP, said that while the INLA ceasefire announced last month remained intact, it was coming under severe pressure.
