From Times Wire Reports

Two shootings in Belfast, Northern Ireland, left one man dead and another critically wounded.

Police and politicians blamed feuding between two outlawed Protestant groups: the Ulster Volunteer Force and the Loyalist Volunteer Force.

Violence frequently flares before July 12, an official holiday when tens of thousands of Protestant members of the Orange Order fraternity hold a parade.
