the g-8 leaders will be meeting at a northern ireland resort near the town of enniskillen. that area symbolizes the long history of violence between the protestants and catholics in northern ireland. but as david tereshchuk reports, enniskillen has a history not only of bloodshed, but also of forgiveness. >> the small northern irish country town of enniskillen seems like the perfect picture of rural calm. but its history seethes with violence. most infamously in modern times on the sunday observed as "remembrance day" in november 1987, the morning's peace was shattered by a devastating bomb. eleven people died that day, and sixty more were seriously wounded. the bomb had been planted near a memorial honoring the dead of world wars i and ii. it was the work of the irish republican army, the predominantly roman catholic organization that used force for advancing irish aspirations to get britain out of northern ireland. those killed were all civilians, largely elderly couples gathering to watch the day's memorial parade, plus a 20-year old student nurse, marie wilson. the dead
