U.K. suspends N.Ireland Govt.

BELFAST, FEB. 11. Britain today announced the suspension of Northern Ireland's 72-day-old coalition Government of pro-British Protestants and pro-home rule Roman Catholics.

``I have decided to suspend the Executive and institutions,'' Northern Ireland Secretary, Mr. Peter Mandelson, told journalists after a day of tension about the fate of home-rule because of a row over refusal of IRA guerillas to disarm.
