Cowardly Attacks on Families

A new and even more cowardly trend has emerged in the activities of dissident terrorists against both the police and those they claim are guilty of anti-social behaviour. This is targeting the families of those who have been deemed suitable targets. First they shot in the legs the brother of a young man responsible for an horrific rape and warned they would shoot him and another brother. Now they have extended this logic to the families of policemen in Derry, with simultaneous bombings of the houses of the parents and sister of a police officer. This is terrorism, pure and simple. There can be no justification for it in the slightest. More proof, if it were needed, that these people have nothing to contribute to politics in this island. And certainly have no strategy to unite the people of Ireland.
