Description

Northern Ireland Secretary Tom King in Belfast gives reaction to Eamonn Mallie following the release of Patrick McVeigh, a suspect in a series of deadly bombings in the UK. Irish Judge Jarlath Ruane ruled McVeigh had not been positively identified by a British policeman and could not be extradited. King believes the British government had taken every precaution to ensure that the extradition would go ahead.
