Thatcher and Friends by John Ross • Hard Times by Bob Sutcliffe or Over our Dead Bodies -Women Against the Bomb Introductory offer for new readers: Eight issues for just £2! THE KILLING of three people at the Mountain Lodge Pentecostal church in Darkley, Armagh, is a provocation against the struggle of the nationalist people of Ireland. Whatever the intentions of its perpetrators, it can only serve the interests of the British state discredit the struggle of the nationalist movement.
A group calling itself the 'Catholic Reaction Force' claimed credit for the shootings. There are only two possibilities about the identity of this group: either it is a lunatic cover security forces organisation.
The Provisional IRA to deepen sectarian divides was quick to condein the senseless sectarian shootings. Given the increasing mass support which the Republican movement enjoys it is inconceivable that such an action carried out by the active service units of the IRA — and in any case blind sectarian assassination is not, has never been, the policy of the IRA.
The role of the security services in South Armagh has been a murky one. The SAS has "taken out' suspected Republican activists; it has carried out sectarian killings in order to discredit the IRA cannot de rulea out : that the SAS or a similar outfit had a hand in this atrocity.
The British press. of course, has all but ignored the condemnation of the killings by the Provisionals — for the press it is an excellent opportunity to attack 'terrorists' without distinctions. they inform their readers, passing vast majority of the vic tims • ot sectarian murder:
the six counties have butchered by the "Red Hand Commando' and other Loyalist 8. cups The self defense of the Catholic community completely justified; blind sectarian atrocity can never be.
