Killings of two British soldiers in Northern Ireland test peace process

The murder of soldiers at an Antrim army base leaves Northern Ireland’s politicians and security chiefs with a major challenge. The attack is part of an attempt by dissident republicans to wreck the peace process and bring down the power-sharing Stormont Assembly. Northern Ireland’s authorities will be trying to find a way to ensure they do not succeed. Now, the security focus is on Sir Hugh Orde, the chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland. He has been warning for months about the danger posed by dissident republicans and now we know why. Clearly, he saw an intelligence picture showing an increase in the plotting and planning of attacks. – From BBC
