Annunciata una imminente operazione della PSNI su larga scala a ‘caccia’ dei dissidenti. Previsti disagi alla popolazione

La notizia è stata confermata quest’oggi in occasione della riunione di ottobre del Northern Ireland Policing Board. Il Police Service of Northern Ireland reagisce all’attentato del Real IRA all’Ulster Bank di Derry e lancia un’operazione su larga scala che coinvolgerà tutto il Nord Irlanda con lo scopo di scovare i ‘dissidenti’.
Judith Gillespie, vice Chief Constable, ha specificato: “Nei prossimi giorni si avrà un aumento dell’attività di polizia in tutta l’Irlanda del Nord, e allo stesso tempo continueremo i nostri sforzi per prevenire gravi danni e mantenere la nostra comunità sicura”, sottolineando che sono previsti disagi per la comunità almeno fino a quando l’operazione non avrà raggiunto il pieno regime, snodandosi in una massiccia presenza di pattuglie e posti di blocco in tutto il territorio.

Major PSNI operation against dissidents announced (BBC News Northern Ireland)
Bomb damaged wall The Real IRA admitted responsibility fot the bomb in Londonderry
The PSNI are launching a major security operation against dissident republicans over the coming days, a senior officer announced on Thursday.
The move to increase police checkpoints and patrols follows Monday’s car bomb attack in Londonderry.
The blast was the latest in a series of attacks by dissident groups this year.
The police have appealed to the public for patience while the operation gets underway.
At the October meeting of the policing board, PSNI Deputy Chief Constable Judith Gillespie said that the public may face disruption as a result of the operations.
“Over the coming days you will see an increase in police activity across Northern Ireland as we continue our efforts to prevent serious harm and keep our communities safe,” Mrs Gillespie told members of the independent oversight body in Belfast.
She said that on occasion police activity may “delay or disrupt people going about their legitimate business”.
However, she said the force would seek to minimise the impact of their activities on ordinary people and asked the public for understanding.
The threat level posed by dissidents in Northern Ireland has been classed as severe for the last 18 months.
In September, MI5 warned that an attack on the UK mainland was now likely.
Two police officers were slightly injured when the 200lb car bomb detonated near a hotel and bank in Derry.
The blast caused substantial damage and traffic was severely disrupted for days.
