I haven’t the time to do a Pete-style drag out all the detail, so I’ll just highlight them and leave the thread for any discussion.Author of IRA: The Bombs and the Bullets compares the operational capabilities of Al Qaeda and other Islamicist groupings unfavourably with the PIRA. I suspect some of what he says may be controversial for some here. Try to keep it clean.
