Sinn Fein Councillor Targeted Via NY Transfer News Collective * All the News that Doesn't Fit source: Paddy Newell Sinn Fiin Nuacht Raiteas Shantallow, Derry City, Ireland 3 November 1997 Statement from Sinn Fiin Councillor Alex Maskey, commenting on the targeting by loyalists of Lisburn Councillor, Sue Ramsey and a number of people in the Springhill area of West Belfast: "Councillor Ramsey was informed this morning by the RUC that a false number plate bearing her car registration was found in the Tennents Street area of the Shankill Road. The RUC refused to give any other details to Ms. Ramsey. It is most likely that loyalists intended using a car similar to Ms. Ramsey's in a nationalist area using the cover of her legitimate registration. This targeting of Ms. Ramsey has to be seen in the context of the recent split within the CLMC and subsequent attacks which have taken place in loyalist areas. Set against this has been the continuing targeting of Sinn Fiin activists including the party President Gerry Adams last month. In recent days the RUC have visited a number of men living in the Springfield area of West Belfast warning them that loyalists have their details. They refused to inform the people concerned how the loyalists got these details. I am calling on the RUC to confirm or deny that loyalists now have access to their files on nationalists." ================================================================= NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us 339 Lafayette St., New York, NY 10012 http://www.blythe.org e-mail: nyt@blythe.org ================================================================= nytire-11.06.97-17:33:43-27846
