| BELFAST (Reuters) - Gunmen struck at a British army base in one of Northern Ireland's worst attacks since a 1998 peace deal on Saturday, killing two soldiers and seriously wounding four people, officials said.
The attack followed a warning from Northern Ireland's police chief this week that the threat from republican dissidents was at its highest for nearly a decade and reports that British special forces were back in the province to gather intelligence.
Officials gave few details of the incident but Ireland's public broadcaster RTE said the attackers got past the base's checkpoint in a taxi and opened fire with machineguns.
