Attempts are being made to try to open talks to end the Loyalist paramilitary feud. Political representatives of the Ulster Freedom Fighters and the Ulster Volunteer Force are trying to set up a meeting to discuss the violence that has claimed the lives of three Belfast men in the past fortnight. David Adams of the UDP, which has links with the UDA and the UFF, said that his party stood ready to do anything to restore calm. David Ervine, of the Progressive Unionists, which has links with the UVF, said that he too would do all he could to help stop the violence.
