SOMETHING more sinister than ethnic cleansing is happening at the moment in the North, according to Deputy Chief Constable Paul Leighton.

Mr Leighton has been dealing with an outbreak of violence characterised by petrol, paint and milk bottles.

In recent weeks, loyalist groups have singled out homes lived in by nationalists in one area of the North and pegged pots of paint at them.
