A measured military response.
UDA/UFF statement describing their sectarian murders of
Catholics.

They have a purpose all right, and they make perfect
sense to those who perpetuate them, the psychopathic
thugs bred and nurtured in the loyalist warrens on a
mother's milk diet of hatred for Catholics, and for
whom the death of a Catholic is an occasion for
rejoicing, the effective elimination of one a reason to
boast. The hatred is seen at its most naked outside the

with the right to walk the ``Queen's highway''.
