Sappers Mark Quinsey, 23, of Birmingham, and Patrick Azimkar, 21, of London, were killed as they collected pizzas outside Antrim's Massereene Barracks on Saturday March 7.

Duffy, 41, will face Larne Magistrates' Court, also charged with five counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life.

The high profile republican from Lurgan, Co Armagh, was arrested on March 14 and was questioned by detectives at Antrim police station.

A court had granted permission for police to hold Duffy for an extended period as detectives continued their inquiries, but he launched a legal challenge against the move.

The High Court in Belfast ruled on Tuesday that his continued detention was unlawful, but while five other people being questioned were freed, Duffy was dramatically re-arrested by police. His family subsequently issued a statement demanding his release.

In the attack at Massereene Barracks, gunmen opened fire on people gathered at the gates of the base, killing the two soldiers and also seriously injuring two of their colleagues and two pizza delivery men.

Two days after the murder of the soldiers the Continuity IRA shot dead Police Service of Northern Ireland officer Stephen Carroll, 48, as he answered a call for help from a member of the public in Craigavon, Co Armagh.

Three people have been charged in connection with the policeman's murder.

A court on Wednesday banned anyone from revealing the identity of a man accused of withholding information about the murder of Pc Carroll.
