英女王とIRA元司令官、会見へ 和平定着を象徴

 英国からの分離闘争をカトリック過激派アイルランド共和軍(IRA)の司令官として率いた、北アイルランド自治政府のマクギネス副首相が、エリザベス英女王と会見する。北アイルランドの和平定着を象徴する「歴史的な面会」(英BBC)となる。
 IRAの政治組織シンフェイン党が発表した。女王は昨年春、英国の君主として100年ぶりにアイルランドを公式訪問して独立闘争の犠牲者らを追悼。シンフェイン党の側も関係改善を進める。26、27日に予定する女王の北アイルランド訪問の際に会見する。
 北アイルランド紛争では、英国からの分離を求める少数派カトリックと、英統治の存続を望む多数派プロテスタントが対立。3200人以上が犠牲になった。1979年には女王のいとこのマウントバッテン卿がIRAのテロで爆死している。(ロンドン=伊東和貴)


Queen Elizabeth in Northern Ireland for two-day visit

The Queen and Prince Philip The Queen and Prince Philip attended a service to mark the Queen's 60-year reign
The Queen has attended a service of thanksgiving in Northern Ireland during a two-day visit as part of her Diamond Jubilee tour.
Thousands of people lined the streets to welcome the Queen and Prince Philip to Enniskillen, County Fermanagh on Tuesday.
They attended a service to mark the Queen's 60-year reign.
The royal flight was delayed for about an hour due to bad weather.
The Queen's itinerary will also include a meeting with former IRA leader and NI's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness.
NI Secretary Owen Paterson, who is accompanying Her Majesty during her trip, previously said her Stormont visit would have been "unthinkable" years ago.
The service of thanksgiving at St Macartin's Cathedral in Enniskillen was attended by more than 700 people including senior Protestant and Catholic clergy.
The Queen is wearing a Wedgwood blue crepe outfit by royal designer Angela Kelly, complemented by a shamrock diamond brooch.
The lesson has been read by First Minister Peter Robinson.
The Prayers of Intercession have been led by Reverend Ken Lindsay, President of the Methodist Church in Ireland, Catholic Primate of Ireland Sean Brady and the Right Reverend Dr Roy Patton Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.

The sermon was delivered by the Most Reverend Alan Harper OBE, Archbishop of Armagh, who went on to pronounce The Blessing.
The Right Reverend John McDowell, led the Diamond Jubilee Prayer, which had been written at the Queen's direction by the Chapter of St. Paul's Cathedral for Her Majesty's Jubilee.
Enniskillen was the scene of one of the worst atrocities of the Troubles when an IRA bomb killed 11 people on Remembrance Sunday in 1987.
Twenty-five years on, the Queen will meet Sinn Fein's Mr McGuinness on day two of her visit, at an arts event in Belfast.
Ireland's head of state President Michael D Higgins and Stormont First Minister Peter Robinson will also be there.
In his first interview since the meeting with the Queen was announced, Mr McGuinness described it as "taking a risk for peace".
Visits by the Queen to Northern Ireland are normally kept secret until arrival.
This one has been officially announced in advance - a sign of the improved security situation - however, some protests are expected.
The two-day visit is the Queen's 20th trip to Northern Ireland.
