US expels 2 IRA activists but sets illegal-entry trial

Two Irish Republican Army (IRA) activists accused of illegally entering the United States were ordered to leave the country but return March 8 for a trial on criminal charges stemming from the attempted entry.

Owen Carron, a member of the British Parliament, and Danny Morrison, a publicist for the IRA's political arm, were expected to be turned over to Canadian authorities after posting $10,000 bond each.
