Land mine kills two soldiers in Ulster attack near Dungannon
A powerful land mine exploded under a British Saracen armored car near Dungannon County Tyrone injuring five and killing two soldiers. The blast, caused by 400 to 500 pounds of gelignite, hurled the vehicle 20 feet and left a 30 by 20 foot crater. An army spokesman called it one of the biggest bombs in Northern Ireland, detonated by guerrillas waiting nearby. The dead bring Ulster's year total to 81 and the three year total to 553.
