Violence in Northern Ireland

Violence in Northern Ireland resulted in the deaths of two British soldiers, and the shooting injuries of two additional soldiers and two pizza deliverymen, shot on the rationale that delivering pizza to the British barracks was an act of political “collaboration.” Details and background via Wikipedia News.

Two other soldiers and two civilian deliverymen were also shot and wounded during the attack.
