Derry nationalists under attack
By Murt McAstocker
A SHOOTING INCIDENT IN the Kilfennan area of Derry is thought to
be the latest in a series of loyalist attacks against
nationalists in Derry's Waterside. Four shots were fired outside
the home of the Catholic family in the early hours of Wednesday
morning 25 June. Although no one was injured the family are said
to be terrified and in a state of shock.
Meanwhile nationalist residents of the Newbuildings area in
Derry's Waterside have said that an atack on St Columba's Primary
School in the area is part of a Loyalist campaign to intimidate
residents from their homes. The school, which has suffered five
attacks over the last two months, was targeted on Wednesday 18
June, when 22 windows were smashed. However the headmaster said
the campaign against the school stretches back over a number of
years. Sinn Fein's Lynn Fleming has called on nationalists to be
vigilant and accused the loyalist organisers of a ``Protestant
Civil Rights'' march in the city this week of provocation.
