Irish nationalists opposed to Northern Ireland’s peace process told the British Broadcasting Corporation that they were behind a fatal shooting Friday at a Dublin hotel, saying it was retaliation for the killing of an ally in 2012. One man was killed and two others were wounded when gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons at a boxing weigh-in.
