The outlawed Irish Republican Army claimed responsibility for a bomb that exploded in a trash can, killing one policeman and injuring another in the town of Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, about 70 miles west of Belfast. Police in Belfast said the bomb was detonated by remote control as part-time policeman Ivan Crawford, 49, walked past it. A second officer, standing nearby, was slightly injured. The IRA also claimed responsibility for a mortar attack on a British security checkpoint near Newry, near the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. Officials said two police officers were slightly injured in that attack.
