Senior members of the paramilitary Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) are orchestrating loyalist street violence that has seen police come under attack in Belfast for the past four nights, Northern Ireland's Chief Constable has said.
While the violence has erupted at ongoing Union flag protests in the east of the city, Matt Baggott today called for an end to all such demonstrations across the region.
So far 62 police officers have been injured and 96 people arrested in violence which Mr Baggott described as "utterly unacceptable" and "being done for their own selfish motives."
Loyalists pickets have been continuing since early December in response to a decision by Belfast City Council to limit the number of days the flag flies over City Hall.

Irish politicians targeted with death threats

Several Northern Ireland politicians have received bullets or other forms of ammunition in the post in recent weeks, including:
  • Cross-community Alliance Party East Belfast MP Naomi Long
  • Alliance leader David Ford
  • Councillor Gerardine Mulvenna
  • Sinn Fein Assembly members Gerry Kelly and Alex Maskey
  • SDLP Assembly member Patsy McGlone
The death threats have come amid street violence that has broken out following loyalist protests over the flying of the Union flag from Belfast's city hall.

Nationalist assembly member Patsy McGlone has hit out at "faceless fascists" after he became the latest politician in Northern Ireland to receive a death threat in the post.
The senior SDLP figure confirmed he was sent a package with his name and picture that contained a bullet and sympathy card.
He paid tribute to the staff at the Royal Mail sorting office near Belfast, who intercepted the parcel, and the Police Service of Northern Ireland for their "professionalism and vigilance."
