Third victim of loyalist feud had survived murder bid six years ago.
(From Belfast Telegraph)
Byline: David McKittrick
A deadly feud between loyalist paramilitary groups in Belfast claimed its third life at the weekend with the killing of a man in the north of the city.
Stephen Paul, in his late twenties, was shot several times on Saturday night as he sat in a van outside his father's home in north Belfast. Another man was injured in the attack.
The security forces fear more violence will follow in the dispute, in which the Ulster Volunteer Force is apparently intent on wiping out the smaller Loyalist Volunteer Force.
The feud is tying up large amounts of security force resources just as, ironically, the IRA has promised to disarm and go out of violent business.
There is no sign that any of the three biggest loyalist paramilitary outfits is considering following the republican lead. Instead, extreme Protestant violence has recently escalated in several areas of Belfast.
