Loyalist targeting continues in north Antrim

| Readers 15

I posted a thread several days ago in relation to threats made against Sinn Fein elected representatives and activists in the north Antrim/ East Derry region. Since then, the threats and attacks have intensified. A petrol bomb attack on a home in Ballymena has been confirmed as a case of mistaken identity, with the intended target being a Sinn Fein activist in the town. Cllr Anita Cavlan has recieved yet another threat from loyalists- as has Billy Leonard (Coleraine), whilst Antrim Borough Council’s Henry Cushinan recieved a bomb threat yesterday evening, which turned out to be a hoax.
All of which indicate that loyalists in north Antrim- responsible for a spate of attacks last Summer, as well as the murder of Michael McIlveen earlier this year- remain active and dangerous.
