The Irish Republican Army formally ended its 30-year armed campaign against British rule in the north of Ireland on Thursday. But while the leadership ordered its members to stand-down militarily, the group did not say it was disbanding. The IRA said it would work with an independent arms decommissioning body to verify it had put its massive arsenal of guns and explosives beyond use, but gave no date for completion. We’ll have more on this later in the program.
