Sectarian campaign in Limavady
``This level of intimidation is increasing all the time and
bringing fear and terror to ordinary nationalists who just want
to live their lives in peace.'' Sinn Féin councillor Francie
Brolly was speaking this week about the growing campaign of
loyalist intimidation against nationalists in the County Derry
town of Limavady, where there have been nightly sectarian attacks
recently.
According to Brolly, the attacks have increased since a loyalist
Website listing the names and workplaces of several local men
came online. The Website actually identified one man one man and
said he should be targeted with a pipe bomb.
Other messages from Limavady invite ``loyalist groups'' to ``bring
your pipe bombs to Limavady''.
Said Brolly: ``This web site is just the latest example of the
intimidation being directed at nationalists in Limavady.'' Bars in
the town, as well as private homes, have been attacked by
loyalist gangs hurling stones through the windows. Loyalist
emblems and flags are being flown throughout the town, while a
UFF plaque was erected in Drumachose Park.
