"Army units are being deployed again in NI Clear provocation on part of English, AGAIN!" - Virginnia Tam

Provocation on the part of the English eh?? Bit difficult that VT especially seeing as there has been no such political entity as the English since 1707.

As far as I am aware those soldiers killed had nothing whatsoever to do with the SRR units that are being deployed to Northern Ireland in response to a worsening security situation that has been telegraphed over the past eighteen months. The SRR is not a combat force and are tasked with intelligence gathering, so thay are not there to "fight" anybody.

This attack would have to have been reconnoitred and planned which would mean that this attack was in preparation long before the announcement of any SRR deployment was made.

As yet no-one has claimed responsibility for it, and as both Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams have both said this act of murder will not further the Republican cause one jot.
