LOYALIST MOB BLOCKS ROAD IN BELFAST
08/07/2004 - 08:42:57
A loyalist mob including senior members of the Ulster Defence Association blocked a road in north Belfast last night in an apparent show of force ahead of the annual Twelfth of July celebrations.
The blockade took place during rush hour last night and prevented cars and buses from entering the mainly nationalist area of Ligoniel.
The incident is believed to be linked to the Parades Commission’s decision to ban loyalist “hangers on” from marching past the nearby nationalist enclave of Ardoyne on Monday evening following Orange Order marches to mark the Twelfth of July.
