 A masked member of the Real Irish Republican Army (RIRA) splinter group reads a statement during a 1916 Easter Rising commemoration at Cregan Cemetery in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, Monday, April 25, 2011. Die-hards formed the Real IRA in 1997 when most IRA members decided to cease fire and pursue peace negotiations with Britain and Northern Ireland's Protestant majority. Police remain on high alert across Northern Ireland amid fears of a terror attack to mark traditional republican commemorations of the 1916 Easter Rising against British rule.
