Irish National Liberation Army (INLA)

The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) was a paramilitary group in Northern Ireland, active mainly from the 1970s to the 2000s. It aimed to establish a united Irish republic free of British control, advocating for nationalist and republican ideals. The INLA was involved in violent activities, including attacks and bombings, primarily targeting British security forces and loyalist groups. It was considered a terrorist organization by the UK and others. Over time, the INLA declared ceasefires and moved toward political processes, but it remains associated with the violent conflict known as The Troubles.
