Seven Killed in Belfast Violence Tests Truce
Belfast violence over a tense weekend left seven men dead, shot in the head and some bound and hooded in what authorities say resemble IRA executions. Catholics and Protestants among the victims, a misplaced English boy among them, raised fears of a further cycle of sectarian killings. Gun battles erupted in Andersontown as British troops moved in, and the Ulster Defense Association threatened retaliation after the alleged kidnapping of Gusty Spence, a Protestant figure jailed for killing a Catholic. The UDA later dismantled many barricades in Protestant areas amid protests against army actions.
