IRA mortar attack hits British base in West Belfast
IRA guerrillas using homemade mortars shelled a British army base on Whiterock Road in West Belfast, prompting a gun battle with soldiers. Authorities reported no casualties. The IRA claimed responsibility and noted evacuations of several families beforehand. Separately, two teenage gunmen killed off duty policeman Neal Quinn at Bridge Bar in Newry. Quinn would have turned 30 years of service today.
