Windows smashed in UDA feud attack

The windows of two houses in north Belfast were smashed last night in an attack which police believe was related to an ongoing feud within the Ulster Defence Association.

The attack in the Westland Road area was carried out by two car-loads of masked men armed with baseball bats and iron bars.

The gang also damaged a car. The incident is believed to be related to a dispute between the UDA leadership and its former west Belfast commander, Johnny Adair, who was expelled from the organisation two months ago.
