Terrible news.

I just hope that all possible resourses will be used to track down these animals. Id love to see these terrorists caught with weapons and shot dead. I fear however, that that politics will hamper and constrain the police and army.

Only a couple of days ago news broke that the PSNI had called in a few British army specialists to help with survelliance on dissident republicans. The news was greeted with anger and criticism by the usual suspects in Sinn Fein and the liberal media.

Gerry Adams has said the chief constable risks losing the support of the vast majority of republicans.

"He has the popular support of the vast majority of republicans, provided he does the right thing," the Sinn Fein president said.

Mr Adams said that to "open up the old agenda" was "not the way forward".

His comments come after Sir Hugh Orde requested the Special Reconnaissance Regiment's help to gather intelligence on dissident republicans.

The chief constable said he had asked for some extra support to deal with the threats posed by a small number of what he described as "extremely dangerous people".
I think after this latest tragedy the PSNI should be asking for more help from special forces. The numbers of M15 and the recon SRR guys should be increased. SAS should be re-deployed (if the intelligence supports it) and the public should not be told! Do we deserve any less protection than police or army based in England?

I hope we see a strong condemnation from the nationalist/republican community. I believe they are also appalled, but they need to shout about it, and most importantly support the police by providing information.
