La PSNI ha lanciato un nuovo piano di rafforzamento della sicurezza nel timore di un attacco dissidente in occasione delle General Election

C’è fermento tra le file del Police Service of Northern Ireland a causa del timore che i dissidenti repubblicani vogliano approfittare del periodo elettorale per portare a segno un attacco significativo.
Il vice Chief Constable Judith Gillespie, ha avvertito la popolazione dell’aumento di controlli per le strade e di un aumento dei pattugliamenti.
“E’ una possibilità molto viva”, ha dichiarato la Gillespie, presso il quartier generale della PSNI a Belfast, in merito ad un attacco dissidente.
“Vogliamo essere sicuri che ognuno posso esercitare il proprio diritto al voto, tutelando la loro sicurezza”.

Police boost election security (Belfast Telegraph)
Police in Northern Ireland have announced plans to launch a major security operation in the run-up to the election amid fears of a dissident republican attack.
Commanders are concerned that the violent extremists will try to mar the poll with a symbolic strike.
Deputy chief constable Judith Gillespie told the public to expect more roadside checks and additional patrols in the coming days.
Dissidents exploded a bomb outside the regional headquarters of M15 in Co Down earlier this month to coincide with the devolution of policing powers to Stormont.
Mrs Gillespie said the police had to prepare for another terror attack to coincide with the election.
“We are very alive to this possibility,” she said at police headquarters in Belfast.
“We want to make sure that everybody goes about their democratic right to vote in a way that protects their safety and protects their security.”
