Two quizzed on IRA blast

The RUC was last night questioning two men over the IRA rocket attack on the High Court in the centre of Belfast on Monday.

They were arrested in the city earlier yesterday by detectives hunting the two-man gang which launched the attack from a passing car.

The Army and police across the whole of Northern Ireland were on alert against further IRA attacks and amid continuing fears of loyalist retaliation, despite assurances from political representatives on both sides that their cease-fire was holding.
