NORTHERN IRELAND: LVF CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR LONDONDERRY KILLING

English/Nat

A breakaway Loyalist terror group (L-V-F), claimed responsibility on Sunday for murdering a Catholic man in the county of Londonderry.

The man was found dead after having been shot in the head beside a youth club in the small mostly Catholic town of Maghera, 25 miles (40 kilometres) northwest of Belfast.

Police have so far declined to confirm that the man was the victim of the fourth sectarian killing by extremist Protestant gunmen since Christmas.

Residents said the victim was in his late twenties and had recently returned home after working in the United States.

In its statement to Belfast media, the outlawed Loyalist Volunteer Force (L-V-F) claimed it killed the man because he was a known republican who is engaged in an arms shipment from America.

Using a recognised code word in a telephone call to a television station it also said: This is not the last.

The L-V-F killings of Catholics have been in revenge for the murder on December 27th of the group's leader Billy Wright inside the Maze prison by an outlawed dissident republican group.

Martin McGuinness, the chief negotiator for Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army (I-R-A), spoke to reporters at the scene of the incident.

He said the killing offered further proof that some protestants were trying to do all in their power to wreck the peace process.

SOUNDBITE: (English)
I can tell you without fear of contradiction that there is a great anger which will increase as a result of this killing within the nationalist community as to what has happened. And the reality is that many people believe that governments are prone to this type of pressure. And it is very important that people understand where this pressure is coming from. This pressure is coming from unionist political leaders within the talks who refuse to negotiate.

McGuinness said he would discuss this latest incident with British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, when he meets him for talks in London on Monday.

The surprise meeting has been called by Blair while other parties in Belfast start negotiating on a new lawmaking assembly for Northern Ireland, a proposal bitterly opposed by Sinn Fein.

SOUNDBITE: (English)
Well we will obviously be dealing with this very serious latest development. This ongoing vicious campaign of sectarian murder which is taking place in our society. But we're also there to point out to the British Prime Minister that what is required are meaningful negotiations which are entitled to bring about fundamental change. And we're going to explain to Tony Blair that we believe there can be no internal settlement. And that he has a key responsibility as has Bertie Ahern to live up to the promises that were made in the past that there wouldn't be an internal settlement. So of course we will discuss with him the way in which this document, the proposed heads of agreement, was placed on the table at the point of a Unionist gun, that's what the vast majority of Nationalists believe. And we will also tell him, I believe without fear of contradiction, that the overwhelming majority of Nationalists are deeply dissatisfied and angry at what has happened in the course of the last number of weeks.

The peacemaking plan, jointly presented last week by the British and Irish governments to the Belfast talks, has been well received by other parties taking part in the peace talks.

It proposes that Catholic and Protestant politicians should form a power-sharing assembly within Northern Ireland.

But Sinn Fein seeks a united Ireland, and is opposed to establishing

By Kirsten Elder

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall began their two day visit to Northern Ireland with a visit to the Seamus Heaney Homeplace in Bellaghy in County Londonderry.

A small gathering of local people lined the railings outside the centre and greeted the Royal Couple as they emerged from their car.

The Prince and Duchess met members of the Heaney family and had a tour of the centre before signing the visitor's book and meeting excited members of the public.

Magilligan Point - County Londonderry, Northern Ireland

Lough Foyle Ferry sailing point - Magilligan point has its own history and is a great viewing point across Lough Foyle. It is part of the British army firing range and part of nature reserve - also is close to Magilligan Prison. From the area/beach - there are great views across to Moville and Greencastle. Well worth a stop - as part of the Causeway Coastal Route.

Magilligan point is a peninsula that lies in the northwest of County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, at the entrance of Lough Foyle. The name Magilligan comes from MacGilligans country which formed a major part of the barony of Keenaght and is situated within Causeway Coast and Glens district (

The Magilligan Point guards the mouth of Lough Foyle and is also home to Lough Foyle Ferry and Martello Tower which has been beautifully restored but is actually locked. Heading to this place means that you are willing to have a short walk by the beach in order to enjoy the good weather - according to when you are visiting :-) - or else to spot the bird and sea life.

The most interesting thing about visiting Magilligan Point in Northern Ireland is considered the tower which - according to history - is believed to be built in order to stop the French invasion, and thus one of the main reasons why tourists tend to come to this place is actually to see that tower.

Martello towers, which are also referred to as Martellos - are those small defensive forts built back across the British Empire in the 19th century and most of them were coastal forts. The reason why they are believed to be built in order to stop the French invasion is the fact that when they were built, it was the time of the French Revolutionary Wars. The way these towers were built back in time, helped with invasions due to their strong structures and the way they were built, but now most of them are considered historical monuments and attractions that people visit in order to enjoy what the old people used to build and were good at.

Visiting the Magilligan Point needs a plan - or an advice - which will get you through this trip happy and safe. First of all, be assured that food and drink are found there and that you could easily find a bar there to serve you with what you want - toilets are there too! At the beginning of the trip, you will park where it is adjacent to the boundary of Magilligan Nature Reserve. After you park and get inside through the kissing gate, you will view the Martello tower straight ahead. Access inside the military firing range is restricted, so all what you will be doing there is walking around the place and viewing the tower from the outside - maybe taking a couple of pictures of the place as well.

Magilligan Point is considered an important attraction in Northern Ireland for the Martello Tower mainly, but let's all agree that visiting the place in general is a different kind of experience which is not the same like all those other historical spots that one visits in Northern Ireland.

Londonderry, where Magilligan Point is situated in Northern Ireland, is the second largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth city in the island of Ireland - which is also known and referred to as Derry. This city gained the London prefix after it was granted a Royal Charter by King James I to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. Londonderry is close to the border with County Donegal (

Visiting the Magilligan Point means that you are going to be in Londonderry - or Derry - and this also brings us to the point where we should mention some of the other attractions of this city and some of the landmarks which one should visit and come across. From those which we suggest to the people visiting Londonderry anytime soon for the Magilligan Point, one could enjoy the walls of the city since Londonderry is considered the only walled city in Ireland, going to the Tower Museum which carries different shipwrecks inside, passing by the Guildhall which is the most famous building in the city ( seeing the city from the Peace Bridge ( coming into St. Columb's Cathedral, or else enjoying other general things like a traditional experience, getting to know more about the village, or else attending an open-air art or even attending the Halloween in the city (

Northern Ireland is a magical place where one could move from one city to the other and still manage to come across different places to visit from which one will also learn about lots of new things related to history (
