A MAN is being questioned about the IRA murders of two policemen in Lurgan, Co Armagh, last week, the RUC said yesterday. He was arrested on Monday night, hours after the RUC set up a reconstruction of the killing of Constables John Graham and David Johnston and appealed for help in tracking the killers.

A massive security operation went into action yesterday morning. The British army carried out searches in hundreds of gardens and homes in nationalist estates and several mixed housing areas.
