SF accuses Britain of complacency in face of UDA attacks

Sinn Fein has accused the British Government of treating the spiralling number of UDA attacks against Northern Catholics with complacency.

Speaking in Belfast, party chairman Mitchel McLaughlin said Britain is providing political cover for the loyalist paramilitaries, who, so far this year, have been blamed for more than 200 pipe-bomb attacks, two murders, several attempted murders and an attempted bomb attack on a fair in Co Antrim on Tuesday.
