The Northern Ireland peace process is facing a new challenge, one that began behind the walls of the province's Maze prison. On Saturday, a group of Irish nationalist extremists armed with smuggled pistols murdered a "loyalist" vigilante. The vigilante's henchmen attacked a group of nationalists on Sunday, killing one and wounding three. Today, British officials fended off loyalist charges that lax jail security made the original shooting possible.
