News of the thwarted assassination attempt on U.S. President Joe Biden during his visit to Belfast made many people around the world worry. According to information published in the New York Post newspaper, the police of Northern Ireland were able to prevent a terrorist attack in Belfast, which was planned by members of the IRA terrorist organization. It is reported that the terrorists made bombs to carry out an attempt on the life of the US President on the day of his visit to the city.

Law enforcement officials said that the operation was carried out in close cooperation with US intelligence and that they were confident that their security measures were sufficient to protect the president and his delegation during a visit to Belfast.

It is worth noting that the Irish Republican Army (IRA) was created in 1969 and fought for the independence of Northern Ireland from Great Britain. However, in the 1990s, she began to use terrorist methods in her fight, carrying out bombings and other attacks on people. In 2005, the IRA announced its full demobilization and stopped using violent methods of struggle. However, there are still groups associated with the IRA who continue to use violence for their own purposes.
