Republican dissident group claim Kerr death

A SELF-STYLED Republican dissident group purporting to be the IRA has said it blew up and killed Northern Irish policeman Ronan Kerr three weeks ago.

It also threatened to carry out more attacks under its new banner.

The organisation released a statement to the Belfast Telegraph and said it was made up of former members of the Provisional IRA and had been responsible for the murder of the PSNI constable.
