SF condemns blast bomb attacks on police
13/07/2005 - 12:23:15Sinn Féin has criticised those responsible for throwing blast bombs at police officers during riots in north Belfast last night.
Up to 80 officers and a number of members of the public were injured during the clashes following a contentious Orange Order march in the Ardoyne area.
Three blast bombs were thrown at police during the violence and republican sources have blamed the breakaway Continuity IRA for the attacks.
Speaking about the matter this morning, Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly said: "They're not from the [Provisional] IRA. They're not supported by the IRA.
"The vast majority of people are very angry about these attacks. Whoever did it, they're not welcome."
