Police with riot shields and dogs stood guard outside a cemetery in the Northern Ireland village of Pomeroy while the outlawed Irish Republican Army buried a 22-year-old guerrilla killed in a bungled mortar attack. Seamus Woods, the 21st IRA guerrilla killed in the last 16 months, died Thursday when a makeshift trailer blew up during an attempted attack on a Pomeroy police station. It was the first IRA funeral in Northern Ireland since an enraged crowd killed two British soldiers at a Belfast burial in March.
