PSNI/RUC raid the tiny republican enclave of short strand in a rage, after PANORAMA doc dishes dirt on PSNI/RUC dirty war.

the PSNI/RUC and their newly appointed ex special branch commanders were in a seething rage after a PANORAMA documentary dished the dirt on Brit army and special branch, security force instigation and involvement in the murders of solicitors Pat Finucane and Rosemary Nelson. PSNI/RUC then launched a dawn raid on the tiny republican catholic enclave of Short Strand, which is completely surrounded by loyalist estates in east belfast. Despite the fact that the sectarian rioting at interface areas flared up after UFF C Company commander Mad dog Johnny Adair was released from prison, and recently uncovered info by the Sunday people newspaper, revealed that Mad dog Johnny Adair was organising and planning mass loyalist protests this summer, yet there have been no loyalist arrests in east belfast, and Mad dog is still free to orchestrate the violence in East belfast, the question has to be asked why are the british security forces still clamping down on and harrasing republicans in their own areas, whilst allowing mad dog to move freely about the whole of belfast to instigate loyalist attacks on the short strand.
