NIreland police probing soldier killings free pair

Police have freed without charge two suspects in the March killing of two British troops by IRA dissidents.

Among those freed Wednesday was Marian Price, a 55-year-old who was part of an Irish Republican Army unit that planted the outlawed group's first car bombs in London in 1973.

Price served a 20-year prison sentence and, since her parole, has become a vocal critic of Northern Ireland peacemaking and the IRA-linked Sinn Fein party.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland offered no explanation for its arrests Tuesday of Price and an unidentified 39-year-old man.

Two suspected IRA dissidents already have been charged with murdering both soldiers as they collected pizzas outside their base March 7 _ the first such killings of British security forces since 1998.
