NI: Northern Ireland - in brief

In January a bugging device was found in a Stormont room reserved for Sinn Fein delegates' use during talks with British officials. Its discovery led to the talks being briefly suspended while police investigated. It has been described as a sophisticated transmitter operating on a microwave frequency above 1000Mhz and using spread spectrum modulation to disguise the signal. The Northern Ireland Office has denied having anything to do with the device although Republican sources have been quoted as saying that "it had MI5's fingerprints all over it".
