TROOPS KILL ULSTER MAN NEAR POLICEMAN'S HOME
By Reuters
BELFAST, Northern Ireland
A masked man was shot to death Wednesday night near the home of a Northern Ireland policeman when the British army apparently foiled an attempt to kill the officer.
A police spokesman Thursday declined to give details on the incident or the dead man but said the shooting occurred when an army patrol encountered masked and armed men.
