A large explosion in a Roman Catholic area of Belfast killed three people and wounded four as IRA members were said to be priming the gelignite charge. Police closed the Lower Falls district while investigators probed the wrecked four room house. The blast raises Northern Ireland's 31 month death toll to 268 amid ongoing sectarian violence.
