Londonderry

At least 95 journalists were killed last year during the course of their work, according to the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), quoted by BGNES.

The highest number of media deaths recorded was 155 in 2006.

Two men have been arrested in connection with the killing of Northern Irish journalist Lyra McKee during a riot in Londonderry on April 18, police said, as politicians in the divided British region united to condemn the attack. 

Two men were arrested early on Jan.20 over a car bomb attack in Northern Ireland's Londonderry and police were looking into whether the New IRA militant group was responsible, officers said.

Martin McGuinness, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) commander who laid down his arms to become a key architect of Northern Ireland's peace, died on March 21 aged 66, prompting tributes from allies and former enemies alike.

Rioting erupted in Belfast during the annual Orange Order parade as police tried to block Protestant marchers from passing a Catholic housing estate, a return of the sectarian violence that has marred the traditionally emotive event in the past.
