"Apparently"?

Nobody disputes that Bernadette was nearly assassinated by loyalists, or more accurately that loyalist hitmen pulled the trigger. The "apparently" qualifier is unnecessary. As for the irony of her life being saved by the British Army, what's more ironic is that these soldiers-- apparently assigned to watch the McAliskey household-- were nowhere to be found when the loyalists were battering the family's door down with a sledgehammer.

British soldiers and the assassination attempt

There's a 'citation needed' tag on the article referring to McAliskey's house being staked out by British troops during the loyalist assassination attempt. I don't have a copy handy, so I can't put page references in, but 'The Dirty War' by Martin Dillon should do... --Aim Here 14:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC) Bold text[reply]

"a soldier ran to a neighbour's house, commandeered a car, and drove to the home of a councillor to telephone for help" Surely at least one of them had access to a field radio ???? 213.40.119.11 (talk) 20:55, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 05:51, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UDA or UFF

Weren't the UFF responsible for the shooting not the UDA ?jeanne (talk) 07:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Injured in shooting' section

Sorry, 213.1.216.74 - what you've included is against policy, specifically those on verifiability and neutral point of view. Such material would need to be properly sourced before it could be included. Bastun^{BaStun not BaTsun} 10:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
