The Rev. Ian Paisley, a leader of hard-line Protestants in Northern Ireland, urged an end to nine days of Protestant attacks on police in the British province. “I unequivocally and unreservedly condemn violence and attacks on police officers’ homes, on police officers’ families and on any individuals connected with the Royal Ulster Constabulary,” Paisley said. Protestant militants who oppose the Anglo-Irish accord, which grants the Dublin government a role in the administration of Ulster, have turned against the overwhelmingly Protestant constabulary.
