In the attack at Massereene Barracks, gunmen opened fire on people gathered at the gates of the base, killing the two soldiers and also seriously injuring two of their colleagues and two pizza delivery men.

Two days after the murder of the soldiers the Continuity IRA shot dead Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) officer Stephen Carroll, 48, as he answered a call for help from a member of the public in Craigavon, Co Armagh.

Three people have been charged in connection with the policeman’s murder.

A 17-year-old youth and a former Sinn Fein councillor Brendan McConville, 37, were charged with Pc Carroll’s murder.
