A young nationalist couple in Banbridge have been harassed by British Intelligence agencies over the course of the past twelve months due to their friendship with a member of Republican Sinn Féin in Newry. Most recently an elaborate hoax bomb was left outside their home.

One of the couple has been stopped by British spies whilst holidaying. They also tore apart his house and told him that they would have their fellow Loyalists intimidate him if he did not co-operate.

Most recently his refusal to collaborate resulted in a bomb being left at his front door in the early hours of Wednesday morning. He was forced to evacuate through the back door and was kept out of his home for several hours.

Around the same time his mother also received a phone call to say that her son was going to be burnt out of his home.

These incidents show that British Intelligence agencies – including those belonging to Gerry Adams' RUC – remain involved with Loyalist death squads.
