The UVF orchestrated attacks on the Short Strand area of East Belfast continued for a second night on the 21st June. Despite Midsummer providing the shortest period of darkness of the year, it was a very long night for the besieged residents of the mainly Catholic, Short Strand district. As with the previous night's attacks, waves of masked men launched stones, bottles, petrol-bombs and eventually gun shots at the homes and residents of the small Republican enclave.

  • Just to say the Protestant areas have been attacked too!

  • And a couple of years before this the victims where the attackers. The "Residents" of Short Strand decided to attack Cluan Place with guns, petrol and blast bombs in an attempt to ethnically cleanse the street of Protestants.

    Oh,how i have a complete lack of sympathy for those poor residents of Short Strand.

  • UVF... the mentality of Lenny Murphy... 100s of murders... the goddam scum of the earth

  • If anyone witnessed events last night, it would be useful to talk. Please do get in touch - I work for the guardian. Shivmalik@hotmail.com
