Guerrillas hiding on a hilltop in Ulster blew up an unmarked police car with a remote-controlled 1,000-pound land mine, killing a traffic officer and wounding a second. The Irish Republican Army claimed responsibility for the blast in Kinawley, near the border with the Irish Republic. The attack occurred hours before the scheduled funeral of a part-time policeman, Willis Agnew, shot to death by the IRA on Sunday. Leaders of the province’s two main Protestant parties have agreed to talks with Britain’s secretary for Northern Ireland, Douglas Hurd, on the latest round of violence there.
