TERRORISM ON EIRE BORDER
IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY BLAMED LONDON, November 30. The Irish Republican Army is believed to be responsible for the blowing up of the Customs posts on the Ulster side of the border. The attacks were carefully planned, and the explosions occurred almost simultaneously at five key posts along the border line of 180 miles.
A suitcase containing an unexploded bomb was found at the Tullydonnel Customs post, and the Antrim police discovered that similar suitcases addressed to residents and left during the night destroyed the posts. It is now known that they contained time bombs.
