“The UVF has ordered the removal of Catholic families from a housing estate in Carrickfergus in what has been termed a “form of 21st century ethnic cleansing”.”
“The terror gang was behind attacks on three homes in the Woodburn estate in which they believed Catholics have been staying. Sources say the attacks were based purely on rumours about the occupants or people linked to them.”
