Loyalist feud: end not yet nigh

If the hope behind the arrest of Johnny Adair on Friday was to facilitate an end to an incipient Loyalist feud, the government may be disappointed, says Henry McDonald. He also has distrubing news of events behind the withdrawal of the PUP from talks earlier this week:

"...the Progressive Unionist Party (PUP), was forced to pull out of all-party talks following a mass meeting of the terror group last weekend. The UVF's rank and file told the PUP it had no faith in the direction of the peace process, which the terrorists said was loaded in favour of republicanism."
