BELFAST (Reuters) - Northern Irish police are looking for a machine gun and ammunition which they lost in the early hours of Monday morning. ``The Royal Ulster Constabulary...can confirm that investigations are ongoing in an attempt to locate a police-issued firearm and ammunition which was lost in Strabane, County Tyrone,'' a police spokesman said on Thursday. The weapon which newspaper reports said fell out of a police car in Strabane some 95 miles west of Belfast was a Heckler and Koch MP5 sub-machine gun which can fire individual bullets or bursts, the police added. The loss comes as politicians try to bring peace to Northern Ireland after 30 years of sectarian violence. The fragile peace process has been deadlocked for months over the key issue of guerrilla disarmament. see http://my.netscape.com/news/OddlyEnough/05_18_2000.reodd-story-bcoddlost.html -------[Cybershooters contacts]-------- Editor: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website & subscription info: www.cybershooters.org
