BELFAST - The New IRA militant Irish nationalist group has apologized for the killing of journalist Lyra McKee - its first acknowledgement that one of its members was involved, the Irish News newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old reporter was shot dead in Londonderry on Thursday as she watched Irish nationalist youths attack police following a raid. Police said McKee was hit when a gunman opened fire in the direction of officers. The group is one of a number of small organizations that remain active and oppose the 1998 deal, which largely ended three decades of violence in the region. It is far smaller than the Irish Republican Army , which disarmed after the peace deal.
The executive is central to the 1998 deal and Britain’s Northern Ireland minister, Karen Bradley, said on Tuesday she plans to hold talks with party leaders in the province later this week to see what progress can be made.Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney, who has brokered the on-off negotiations between the parties alongside Bradley, also met with politicians in Belfast earlier on Tuesday, his spokesman said.
