Operation Banner Ends

From the BBC: The British army's operation in Northern Ireland will come to an end at midnight on Tuesday after 38 years. They are reducing their presence from N.I. from 27,000 soldiers to 5,000.

From the International Herald Tribune: The British Army, for 38 years a prominent symbol of the sectarian antagonisms of Northern Ireland, closed down its operations there Tuesday.

Just in case you missed it! I've been relying on too many American news sources and almost missed it too.
