UDA ‘disillusioned’ by ceasefire response

THE Ulster Defence Association said yesterday its members were disillusioned by the response others to its recent ceasefire.

In a statement issued through the Ulster Political Research Group in Derry, Northern Ireland’s largest loyalist paramilitary group said it felt some people were trying to “provoke a negative response” from the organisation.

It also accused “elements within the Police Service of Northern Ireland” of trying to “destabilise loyalism in general and the UDA in particular”.
