Northern Ireland Leader Resigns

Northern Ireland's Protestant leader David Trimble has resigned as head of its power-sharing government, plunging the province's peace process into its gravest crisis, ABC reports July 2.

Mr Trimble said he was standing down as first minister over the IRA's refusal to start disarming, but left the door open for his return if the controversial issue can be resolved.

His move sent the ever fragile peace process into its biggest crisis since the landmark Good Friday accord was signed in April 1998.
