British army stands down in Northern Ireland

CROSSMAGLEN, Northern Ireland - The army watchtowers have gone and British soldiers no longer search homes looking for wanted men but for many in Northern Ireland’s border towns the trauma of conflict still burns.

In Crossmaglen, a heartland for Irish nationalists in the British-ruled province who want a united Ireland, residents are still dealing with the legacy of fierce clashes between Republican gunmen and British forces.
