Attack will not derail peace process

By Carl Dinnen

Updated on 08 March 2009

Gordon Brown has insisted the "cowardly" attack on an army base in Northern Ireland, which left two young soldiers dead, will not hinder the peace process.

The army has called the attack an attempt at mass murder, with four others injured, when gunmen opened fire in the Massereene Barracks in Co Antrim last night - including two men who had been delivering pizza.

The attack is thought to be the work of dissident republicans and the Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams accused them of trying to "plunge Ireland back into conflict".
