Councillor and POWs get bullets in post
TWO republican POWs have recieved threatening Christmas cards in
the post containing bullets.
Seán Hill and Gerry Butler, from the Ballycastle area, are
serving 14 years and life respectively. The pair were told the
news by the prison authorities who intercepted the .22 bullets at
the weekend.
The revelation comes after news that the Sinn Féin councillor for
the north Antrim area, James McCarry also recieved a bullet in
the post.
Wrapped up in professionally printed UVF greetings card, the .22
bullet was delivered to his home on Saturday. It bore a similar
post card to those which the prisoners received.
The Moyle Councillor was the target for a loyalist bomb attack
earlier this year. The bomb was discovered when he carried out a
routine check on the underside of his car.
Commenting on this latest incident, Councilor McCarry said: ``As
far as I am concerned, it is a follow-up to the bomb which was
placed under the car in June. No doubt the same people were
involved.
The UVF keep telling us that they are on a ceasefire, but I
don;t believe that anybody believes that. I would like David
Ervine or Billy Hutchinson to meet me to discuss it or at least
issue a statement because apparently the troops appear out of
control.''
A member of the IRSP also received a bullet in the post with a
threatening Christmas card.
