A Northern Ireland police officer was shot dead while on patrol on Monday, two days after Irish Republican Army dissidents shot to death two British soldiers.
The police officer was fatally shot in the head while sitting in his patrol car in the religiously divided town of Craigavon.
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Shaun Woodward condemned the attack.
The incident raised fears that dissident republicans are bringing violence back to the streets of Northern Ireland.
The dissident republican splinter group Continuity IRA has claimed responsibility for the incident.
