DUP CALLS FOR EXCLUSION
10/27/97 16:09 EST

A feud between loyalist paramilitary groups which led to a
man's murder in a weekend booby-trap car bomb is set to
continue, it was claimed today. And Ian Paisley's
DUP (Democratic Unionist Party) demanded that the two fringe
loyalist parties be expelled from the multi-party peace
talks at Stormont for breaching the Senator Mitchell
principles of non-violence.

Party spokesman, Ian Paisley Junior said this evening:
"If the loyalists can have their cake and eat it in terms of terrorism and
politics, the the Provos will want it as well. It will send
a signal to the Provisional IRA that the penalites for
violence do not include expulsion from the talks process."

Loyalist John Greer (28) died after an explosion destroyed
his car in Bangor, Co Down, on Saturday. And later that
night serious street fights between rival loyalist groups
broke out in Derry city. Tensions within loyalists have been
high since the Ulster Freedom Fighters withdrew from the
Combined Loyalist Military Command unbrella group after
disagreements over strategy and a series of internecine
quarrels.
