Wikipedia_IRA_Blunder.jpg‎ (42KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Wikipedia was slow in updating the front page image for the "In the News...", and a missile take-off image from a story about NASA grounding flights sits next to the following story:

"The Provisional Irish Republican Army announces the end of its armed campaign in Northern Ireland and commits itself to use political means only to achieve a united Ireland."
