Men hiding in an Ulster churchyard shot at a passing car and killed a passenger in what may have been the second mistaken-identity slaying in 24 hours. Kieran Murray, 28, died when his car came under fire outside Pomeroy, in County Tyrone where he lived, a Belfast police spokesman said. The driver was not hit. Murray was not a member of the security forces, but his car was reported similar to vehicles used by local police. Earlier, the outlawed Irish Republican Army admitted that it killed a retired storekeeper, Daniel Mallon, having mistaken him for Harry Hamilton, a Protestant building contractor, who it said did construction jobs for police.
