  • With hands in their pockets and walking in step, three friends pass along a street off the Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland, have just passed beneath a Loyalist mural drawn by a paramilitary artist, whose handiwork is based on a well-known representation of a kneeling gunman shouldering a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) and aiming past the crest of the protestant Ulster Defence Association (UDA), the organisation behind many a sectarian action against neighbouring catholic supporters of the Irish republican Army (IRA). In loyalist areas, the red, white and blue of the British Union Jack is painted on kerbs, houses and railings to signify peoples' allegiance to the crown, having historically followed the 17th century activities of King William of Orange against Catholics.   .

  • Lying in undergrowth, a camouflaged British infantry soldier is seen squinting down the telescopic sight of the new British-made Long Range L115A3 sniper rifle on Salisbury Plain, Warminster, England. Sniping means concealment, observation and assassination, a strategy the British are using more against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Swiss Lapua .338 inch rounds (8.59mm) travel at sub-sonic speeds of 936 metres/sec, finding its target accurately up to 1,100 metres. The rifle weighs 6.8kg with telescopic image-intensified scopes to 25x life size vision, made by Schmidt & Bender. Front-mounted 'suppressor' minimises the signature normally compromising snipers' position. At £23,000 each, a £4 million contract has been awarded to Accuracy International, to provide the Army, Royal Marines and RAF. The British say this is the best sniper rifle in the world.
