Militants in two warring Protestant paramilitary groups warned that they see no end in sight to their feud, which already has claimed three lives. “There are those on both sides hellbent on continuing it until they feel they have drawn enough blood,” said Billy Hutchinson, a politician linked to the Ulster Volunteer Force, reacting to news of the latest killing. A gunman suspected of links to the rival Ulster Defense Assn. broke into a home in Belfast late Wednesday and fatally shot Sam Rocket, 21. Police arrested six Protestant militants in Belfast, the British province’s capital, after the killing.
