DUBLIN — An Irish Republican Army splinter group vowed Monday to oppose next month’s visit to Ireland by Queen Elizabeth II and to keep killing Northern Ireland police officers — particularly those recruited from its own Catholic heartlands. “The queen of England is wanted for war crimes in Ireland and not wanted on Irish soil,” a masked Real IRA man told more than 200 supporters rallying in Londonderry.
The man called the queen’s planned May 17-20 visit — the first by a British monarch to the Republic of Ireland — unacceptable and pledged that Real IRA members would “do our best to ensure she (gets) that message.”
