| | + | '''The UK has a long history of dealing with domestic terrorism, most notably due to its experience of [[the Troubles]] in Northern Ireland. During the Troubles, the threat to British national security was posed by Republican Paramilitary Organisations, especially the [[Irish Republican Army]] [[(IRA)]] and its affiliated organisations. In the 1970s, when the Troubles spilled onto British mainland, the UK enacted a series of counterterrorism measures, such as [[Internment]], [[the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act (1973-96)]] and the [[Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act (1974-2000)]]. After various attempts at bringing peace which had failed, the [[the Good Friday Agreement]], which was signed in April, 1998, on the whole, ended the Troubles.''' |
