: A review of recent closed and pending terrorist
cases involving the IRA,. the PIRA,·and NORAID indicates
that there is some activity worthy of investigation in'
the Albany Division.
There is a chapter of NORAID in the
Division which is long recognized as a fund raising arm
: for Irish Terrorist activities. Also we have numerous
contact cases_arising out of the visits by people from
this area fro imprisoned. IRA terrorists, phone calls to
this area from IRA. terrorists, and, information from Irish
and, British authorities on activities in this area.
There
is a particular concentration of apparent Irish activities
in the community of East Durham, New York which has a high
concentration of Irish Americans.
