Sinn Féin MP condemns petrol bomb incident
Sinn Féin MP for Newry and Armagh Conor Murphy has condemned those involved
in
throwing petrol bombs at the heavily fortified PSNI base in Crossmaglen
last
night saying that they had nothing to offer the local community.
Mr
Murphy said:
"It is difficult to work out exactly what motivated
those who threw a number
of petrol bombs at the heavily fortified
barracks in Crossmaglen overnight.
Some local people have reported that
those involved were drunk. What I can
clearly say is that it was in no
way connected to Republicans.
"I would appeal to those involved
in this type of pointless activity to wise
up and to reflect upon the
damage that this type of activity does to the
reputation of the local
community here in Crossmaglen." ENDS
