Two men being held in connection with the murder of prison officer David Black have been released without charge.
The 55-year-old was shot on Thursday during a high-speed ambush on a motorway, as he drove to work at Maghaberry prison near Lisburn.
High profile republican Colin Duffy, 44, and a second man aged 29 were detained in Lurgan, County Armagh, just miles from where Mr Black was targeted.
A police service spokeswoman said the pair had been released unconditionally. A third man arrested is still being questioned in County Leitrim.
Politicians on all sides condemned the murder of the prison officer, who was planning to retire next year after more than 30 years of service.
US secretary of state Hillary Clinton strongly condemned the murder as senseless and applauded the efforts of police to bring the perpetrators to justice.
"There is no justification for this outrageous and cowardly act," she said.
"I offer my sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of officer Black, who had a long and distinguished record of service.
"The United States remains resolute in support of the people of Northern Ireland, who have condemned violence and embraced the path to peace and reconciliation."
Mr Black's funeral will take place on Tuesday at Molesworth Presbyterian Church in Cookstown, a church which Mr Black had attended regularly.
