Police in the North have made another arrest today in connection with the murder of two British soldiers by dissident republicans in Antrim earlier this year.

A 43-year-old man was detained in west Belfast this morning in connection with the gun attack outside the Massereene army barracks in March.

Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey were shot dead at the gates of the barracks as they collected pizza from a delivery man.

The Real IRA claimed responsibility for the attack.
