Royal Fusiliers and MRAC casualties in Northern Ireland violence
The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers on routine search duty with two WRAC personnel suffered a fatality, the 2,077th in nearly a century of Northern Ireland sectarian feuding. The Provisional IRA claimed killings of a British soldier, a militia major, and two Protestant politicians in the recent wave of violence. A separate report details a $1 million jewelry heist in Marathon Florida where bandits on a houseboat stole gold and gems from Eric Ball’s Golden Nugget store after barricading staff and a customer. Ball, unable to insure the floating shop, said the loss left him about 95 percent wiped out.
