Loyalist feud claims two more

Despite a period of calm, the retaliatory feud continued at the weekend with shooting of John Gregg and a junior associate after they returned from a football match in Scotland. The Examiner has picked up a rumour that he was set up by a fellow Glasgow Rangers supporter.

Suzanne Breen believes it is now only a matter of time before the next round of killings resumes. The dead man apparently issued a warning, only hours before his death, to Johnny Adair’s C Company faction that they had a fortnight to come back into line with overall organisation of the UDA.
