The rioting erupted in the Limestone Road area after a number of homes were attacked in the sectarian interface area beside the loyalist Tigers Bay and nationalist Newington district. About 24 police and army jeeps were deployed in the area after the clashes erupted. The scene of the riot is not far from the Duncarin area where loyalists and nationalists clashed during the summer. As the security forces dealt with the disturbances, the helicopter hovered overhead monitoring the situation. Local Sinn Fein councillor Eoin O Brion said nationalist community leaders moved quickly to try to calm local people after loyalists attacked their homes on the Limestone Road. He blamed loyalist paramilitaries from the Ulster Defence Association for orchestrating the attacks which occurred on the eve of attempts by Catholic children in the Ardoyne to go to school despite threats from loyalist protesters that they would attempt to blockade the route because of intimidation from nationalists. Councillor O Brion said: "The situation in Newington and on the Limestone Road seems to have calmed down a bit but there is a very heavy police presence. "It would seem to be no accident that Catholic homes were attacked the night before children are due to return to the Holy Cross school in Ardoyne. "It would also appear to be no accident that tonight's attack came as usual from an area where the Ulster Defence Association has a stronghold." http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_388560.html _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
