This is a weird story. Raises a lot of intriguing questions. Certainly has Unionists throwing fits! Breaking News: The 'Colombia Three' return home Posted on Friday, August 05 @ 18:35:42 GMT by irishgael Three Irish men, on the run from the Colombian Government have returned home to Ireland. Niall Connolly, James Monaghan and Martin McCauley have been missing since December 2004 after an appeal court reversed their acquittal in Colombia for training Marxist rebels. It was widely rumoured the men were hiding out in Cuba and have only recently made their return to Ireland. One of the men, Jim Monaghan said in an interview to RTÉ that they had returned to Ireland in the last few days. Jim Monaghan also said they had "a lot of help from a lot of people" and would not go into detail in this because it would endanger those who helped them. In his interview Jim Monaghan strenuously denied the charges made against him and his collegues, saying he was in Colombia to examine the ongoing Peace Process in the South American country. The Three men were sentenced to 17 years on evidence that relied heavily on two FARC deserters. Despite the inconsistent evidence produced against the men a Colombian court found them guilty of training FARC Rebels. The Irish Government said there was no deal made with Sinn Féin to allow the men to return to Ireland. An Irish government spokesman said: "This issue was not part of the government's discussions with Sinn Fein and we had no prior knowledge of their return to Ireland." Peter Robinson said, “These three men were intricately involved in the global terrorist network, Bertie Ahern would do well to remember the words of President Bush when he said: ’those who harbour terrorists are terrorists'.” But then again, Robbo helped set up Ulster Resistance and he isn't a terrorist. He is also a tube but no one really complains about that very often. Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams said on the three men's return to Ireland, "I want to welcome this news. It will be a great relief to the three mens families and friends and I would hope that they can now get on with their lives." irishgaels.com name=News&file=article&sid=128
