People celebrated in the streets of West Belfast. On August 31st the Irish Republican Army had just announced a permanent ceasefire in Northern Ireland The British and Irish governments had insisted on it, if the IRA s political party Sinn Féin was to participate in peace talks. By October 21st British Prime Minister John Major was convinced the ceasefire was genuine. I am now prepared to make a working assumption that the ceasefire is intended to be permanent. More than 3,000 people have been killed in political violence since 1969. Many in Northern Ireland have suffered-some at the hands of British troops and Protestant paramilitary men, others because of the bombs of the IRA. The ceasefire doesnt mean the IRA has abandoned its goal - it still wants Britain out and Ireland united.

August 14, 1994: The day of the jackal finally comes to an end. After 20 years of evading an international dragnet, the shadowy international terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal is in French custody.
Charles Pasqua, French Interior Minister: The greatest terrorist of our time is finally in the hands of justice.
Carlos is blamed for dozens of deaths and terrorist attacks from Europe to Japan. His real name, Felix Ramirez Sanchez. A master of disguise who frequently changed his appearance through plastic surgery. Carloss arrest came in Sudan. A former CIA official called him a terrorist burnout who spent most of the last decades swilling whiskey. Yet he remains an almost legendary symbol of terrorism.
David Yallop, Author, The Hunt for the Jackal: He is a walking encyclopedia not only of the acts of terrorism that he was responsible for but but everything thats occurred in that area for the last 25 years.
