Police foil IRA bomb plot ahead of Biden's Northern Ireland visit.
TL;DR Summary
Police in Northern Ireland have foiled an IRA terror bomb plot aimed at disrupting President Biden's upcoming visit to Belfast on Tuesday. The New IRA was allegedly looking to purchase bomb parts in Derry and scheming to build an explosive device to disrupt Biden's diplomatic stopover. The group's leader, Thomas Mellon, wanted a "spectacular" way to undermine Biden's visit. Biden will visit Belfast on Tuesday to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the US-brokered Good Friday Agreement, which ended decades of sectarian fighting between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland.
