Debris covers the main street in Claudy, Northern Ireland, following an Irish Republican Army bomb which killed nine people, including three children, in this July 1972 file photo. According to press reports Father James Chesney, a Catholic priest, was directly involved in three Irish Republican Army car bombings, including Claudy, in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. According to Sam Kinkaid, Assistant Chief Constable of Northern Ireland's police force, speaking in Londonderry, Friday Dec. 20, 2002, the British Government and a leader of Ireland's Roman Catholics failed to investigate allegations that a priest was involved in the bombing. Kinkaid did not name the priest but press reports said that he was Rev. James Chesney.(AP Photo/Belfast Telegraph)
