Hit list on bus shelter
By Catherine O'Hagan
THE CAMPAIGN of intimidation and violence against Catholics cin
Larne took a sinister twist when last week a hit list naming
several young Catholics appeared on a bus shelter in Craigyhill.
Two of those named on the hit list discovered the list last
Wednesday 18 November as they went to catch a bus to school. The
young Catholics added that people of their age had been harassed
and attacked for playing hurling in the estate and while the RUC
were aware of attacks on Catholics they had done nothing to
protect them.
``In light of the RUC's failure to protect young Catholics in the
past we are very worried about this threat. We just want to be
left alone, we haven't done anything wrong,'' they said
Two weeks ago in Craigyhill the homes of another two young
Catholics had their windows smashed and the loyalists behind the
attacks are accusing them of painting slogans around the estate.
The youths strenuously deny the charge. ``We haven't been out of
the house in the last two weeks, except to go to school, because
of threats and the curfew imposed on us by loyalists. They told
us to be off the streets by 10pm during the week and not to leave
the house at all over the weekend. Our only crime being Catholics
in Larne,'' the youths said.
