IRA GUNMEN “let out a big roar like a hurrah” as two senior RUC policemen lay dead after an ambush on a rural Border road in March 1989, the Smithwick Tribunal has been told.
Chief Supt Harry Breen and Supt Bob Buchanan were returning from a meeting in Dundalk Garda station when they were ambushed at a “blind spot” on the Edenappa Road just north of the Border, near Jonesboro, Co Armagh.
