DUP gathers for 30th anniversary conference

The scaling down of military installations in Northern Ireland is making its population more vulnerable to terrorist attacks, hardline unionists are expected to hear this weekend.

Members of the Rev Ian Paisley’s Democratic Unionists gathering for the party’s one-day 30th anniversary conference are to debate a motion on security from their youth wing, attacking the Army’s dismantling of watchtowers and installations in south Armagh and Co Derry as a "capitulation to terror".
