 Denis Donaldson, Head of Administration for Sinn Féin at the Assembly was arrested in the early hours of this morning at his home in West Belfast. Other raids and arrests took place on the homes of community activists involved in Policing, Human Rights and Justice issues. Papers relating to these issues were seized. Commenting on this arrest and the other raids, Conor Murphy MLA said: ``This is a further politically inspired intervention by the PSNI as part of their wider anti-Sinn Féin and anti-Irish republican agenda. This is part of the campaign which began in the spring after David Trimble outlined the possibility that he would collapse the political institutions. ``Since then there has been a series of briefings, leaks and bogus statements planted in the media by senior PSNI figures like Alan McQuillan and other securocrats. The arrest of Denis Donaldson represents an upping of the ante in this campaign. We have protested in the strongest possible terms to the British government through the office of the party President Gerry Adams. ``These raids are clearly part of the PSNI's anti peace process, anti democracy and anti Sinn Féin agenda.''ENDS The leader of the Sinn Féin group in the Dáil, Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin TD, has described as ``outrageous'' the PSNI/RUC raid on the Sinn Féin offices in Stormont and the homes of Sinn Féin members. Deputy Ó Caoláin said: ``This is an outrageous attack on a political party instigated by those within the PSNI/RUC who are most bitterly opposed to real change in policing and to the entire Agreement. Those arrested were involved in formulating our party's detailed analysis and policy on the policing issue. This raid is clearly part of the current propaganda effort to target Sinn Féin in pursuance of the anti-Agreement agenda of the Ulster Unionist Party. ``I am calling on the Taoiseach and Minister for Foreign Affairs to protest to the British government in the strongest possible terms.''ENDS

Disband Now!!
Brit paramilitary PSNI militia, the armed right wing paramilitary militia of snobby brit/irish establishment lackeys. DECOMMISION ARMED PSNI JUNTA
well, we have to do something to stop the rot, republicans actually think we the creme dela creme of the brit establishment are going to share power and government with republican peasants lowlife! with the collapse of the trial against the colombian 3, we had to do something, to criminalise republicans again.
Nothing like over-egging the pudding
always worth reading the back issues.

According to Caoimhigin "Those arrested were involved in formulating our party's detailed analysis and policy on the policing issue. "
So a senior British agent was responsible for formulating Sinn Feins spin on how theyll join the peelers and still call themselves republicans ?
First Scappitici and now Donaldson . Both men heads of crucial departments in the provisionals . Of course the man who put these British agents in charge of those crucial departments isnt a British agent himself . That would be a suggestion worthy of a securocrat .
I think Ed Moloney will need to add half a dozen new chapters to the secret history at this rate .
Barry - Maloney might need to update things, but you might also have to update your own theology. A strategy and movement so open to manipulation is inherently flawed, can never succeed and should be abandoned. Welcome to the 21st century. Why return to the doomed methods of the past?
