Loyalist arsonists 'wage campaign of intimidation'

ARSONISTS who attacked a Catholic church in the North are waging a sectarian campaign of intimidation, it was claimed yesterday.

As tensions rose on the eve of the loyalist marching season climax, flammable liquid was poured through a window at the back of Aughnahoy chapel in Portglenone, Co Antrim, and set alight.

The blaze was started as pipe bombers targeted a Catholic-owned furniture shop in the nearby village of Ahoghill.
