Outlawed Protestant gangs set off bombs at rivals’ homes, and police on Tuesday warned that the deadly feud could spiral out of control.
Police backed by British troops patrolled Protestant east Belfast as part of an effort to suppress mounting attacks between the Ulster Volunteer Force and the breakaway Loyalist Volunteer Force.
Tensions between the two groups have been building for months and exploded last week when the UVF killed Brian Stewart, 34, the LVF’s senior figure in east Belfast.
Since then, the two groups have combined to mount six attacks on each others’ properties.
