Police officers in Northern Ireland said they raided 30 homes and arrested 28 people in connection with recent leaks of security files identifying Irish Republican Army suspects. The Royal Ulster Constabulary would not comment on British news reports that the detainees were members of the Ulster Defense Regiment, the locally recruited and mainly Protestant part-time force of the British army. Charges have not been filed. The raids followed allegations that secret files on IRA suspects have been leaked to Protestant gangs.
