Former CIRA Prisoner: Killings are "Resistance"

Interview (26 March 2009) with former CIRA prisoner and dissident republican Josephine Hayden on the recent killings of two soldiers and a policeman in Northern Ireland, which she describes as "resistance" and says more attacks are "inevitable".

The interview was recorded at a Republican Sinn Féin (RSF) press conference on the Falls Road, West Belfast, where RSF spokesman Richard Walsh said the killings were not murder but "an act of war". Republican Sinn Féin, a dissident republican party, are aligned to the Continuity IRA (CIRA).

In response to Martin McGuinness's condemnation of the killers as "traitors", Richard Walsh said: "Adams and McGuinness are guilty of the most severe treachery ... They are now administering British rule in Ireland and supporting the armed forces of occupation."
