Northern Ireland police chief Hugh Orde has been updating the Policing Board on the £26.5m Northern Bank raid. The IRA has twice denied it was behind last month's robbery in Belfast but Mr Orde's assessment has not changed.

The BBC understands that the police believe the robbery was planned and carried out by the IRA in Belfast.

Police have a list of suspected IRA figures they believe were involved, names which have been included in security briefings given to government.

The chief constable's meeting with the Policing Board, which monitors the activities of the police service, took place behind closed doors on Thursday

I feel sorry for the detectives. The chief could have hung a banner outside the building that reads "Gone Fishing" and the results wouldn't have been any different as far as the detectives are concerned. You are not supposed to tell the criminals what you know and what you think you know by talking to anyone outside the investigation. Secrecy is the detectiv's best tool.

I love the humor of the Irish.

Remind you of the keystone cops don't they. "Who you rounding up? The usual suspects."
