Two British Troops Killed in North Ireland Attack
-------------------------------------------------



And in Ireland, a dissident Irish republican group called the Real IRA
has claimed responsibility for an attack that killed two British
soldiers at an army base in Northern Ireland. Four others were wounded,
including two men who were delivering pizzas. It was the first deadly
attack on British troops in Northern Ireland since 1997. The killings
were condemned by both republican and loyalist leaders in Ireland.
Martin Mc Guinness of Sinn Fein said, “I was a member of the IRA, but
that war is over now. The people responsible for last night’s incident
are clearly signaling that they want to resume or restart that war.
Well, I deny their right to do that.”
