The murder of a policeman and two soldiers in Northern Ireland will not compromise peace efforts, a leading politician has said.
Dolores Kelly, the Social Democratic and Labour Party member for the North Policing Board, said the killers would not be allowed to tear down the province's political institutions nor destroy the police process.
A police officer was shot in the head last night as he responded to an emergency call in Craigavon, County Armagh.
