Northern Ireland officer's funeral set

THE funeral for an off-duty Northern Ireland prison officer killed in a rare slaying will take place next week.

A gunman in a passing car shot a 52-year-old prison guard, David Black, as he drove to work on Thursday on Northern Ireland's main highway.

Police have arrested three suspected IRA militants, including Colin Duffy, a prominent Irish republican who has successfully defended himself against a series of murder charges dating back to 1993.

All three men remain in police custody.

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is among those to have condemned the slaying, the first killing of a prison officer in the British territory since 1993.

"There is no justification for this outrageous and cowardly act," she said.

"I offer my sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of officer Black, who had a long and distinguished record of service.

"The United States remains resolute in support of the people of Northern Ireland, who have condemned violence and embraced the path to peace and reconciliation."

Police said on Saturday that Black's funeral would take place Tuesday at Molesworth Presbyterian Church in Cookstown.
