28th March 2009: Ex- IRA man held over soldiers' murder
Sunday, March 29, 2009, 4:15 AM
A former member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) has appeared in court. He has been charged with the murder of two British soldiers in the province three weeks ago.Colin Duffy, 41, has also been charged with five counts of attempted murder and illegal possession of firearms. He is the first person held in connection with the attack, the first on British soldiers in the province since 1997. Snappers Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey died outside the British army's Massareene barracks, near Belfast, as they were collecting a pizza delivery on the night they were due to fly out for deployment in Afghanistan. Two more soldiers, and two pizza delivery men, including a Polish citizen, were injured in the attack. It was followed two days later by the murder of 48-year-old police officer Stephen Correll in the southern town of Craigavon. Two men, aged 17 and 37, have been charged with his murder. The Real IRA and the Continuity IRA, both splinter groups of the former IRA, claimed responsibility for the two attacks, which have been widely condemned in Northern Ireland. credit: http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-world/exira-man-held-over-soldiers-murder-20090328-9egk.html |
