Attack linked to loyalist protests at Maghaberry.
(From Newsletter)
Byline: STEPHEN DEMPSTER
LOYALISTS have been blamed for an attack on the house of a former prison officer, hours after UDA boss Andre Shoukri was placed in solitary confinement at Maghaberry Prison.
A car was damaged in a petrol bomb attack at a home in Newtownabbey on Tuesday night.
No group has claimed responsibility but Prison Officers Association spokesman Finlay Spratt said it was undoubtedly linked to on-going complaints from loyalists about conditions at Maghaberry which included protests outside the jail at the weekend.
"It seems more than a coincidence that loyalists are making demands in the jail over Christmas and holding protests and then Shoukri is put in solitary and we have an ex-officer targeted,'' he noted.
Shoukri was placed in solitary on Tuesday afternoon.
