Default Two soldiers murdered in Northern Ireland

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7930995.stm

It seems that the control over the majority of violence in N.I has started to fail, it seems a bit suspicious that this happens a very short time after decisions to compensate victims of the troubles, as it is not the IRA this time I hope the situation doesn't become as bad, at least they wont be getting financial and military aid from other countries this time around either.

Between the so called "real" IRA and the Loyalist paramilitary organizations, it must be very difficult for everyone there to know who their enemy really is.

Confidence had recently grown as well which led quite a lot of Irish people to leave Great Britain and return to their country, I've a friend who has lived in England since being 11 years old and he relocated with his family just over a year ago to Omagh.

I guess he wanted to go back home.

Did a lot of people leave Omagh after that horrible bomb attack in 1998? I'll bet that scared a lot of people, because the dead were from all sorts of backgrounds. Terrorists don't care who they hurt.

Many people left, staying was doing a disservice to your family. Now a policeman has been killed as well.
