New IRA bomb plot disrupted ahead of Biden's Northern Ireland visit.

Police in Northern Ireland reportedly disrupted a bomb plot by members of the New IRA ahead of President Biden's visit this week to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. Members of the New IRA were "looking for parts to make a bomb" in the border city of Derry. Authorities have warned in the lead-up to Biden's visit that political dissidents could be planning violence to disrupt the event. The New IRA, whose members want Northern Ireland to leave the UK and join the Republic of Ireland, claimed responsibility for the shooting of an off-duty senior police officer two months ago in Omagh.
