http://www.facebook.com/NorthernIrelandDocumentaries This documentary looks at the tactics used by the Northern Ireland police to put Ulster Freedom Fighters leader Johnny Adair behind bars in the 1990s. Adair had taken control of the UFF in the lower Shankill Road area of Belfast and turned it into a ruthless killing machine - terrorising IRA and Sinn Fein terrorists in the nearby Ardoyne, New Lodge and Falls Road areas. Adair's unit - officially known as Ulster Defence Association's 2nd Battalion, C Company - carried out brazen attacks against IRA catholic fundamentalist terrorists throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. These included RPG attacks on the Sinn Fein headquarters on Falls Road, a boobytrap bomb under the car of Ardoyne IRA leader Eddie Copeland and a gun attack on Sinn Fein terrorist Alex Maskey. Unable to implicate Adair in any killings or UFF operations, the RUC police enacted a new law to convict him of 'directing terrorism' and send him to prison. The fact that this law was never used to put IRA leaders like Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams in prison shows that Loyalist activities were more rigorously pursued by the police than Nationalist terrorism in Northern Ireland. ulster defence association, ulster defence regiment, royal ulster constabulary, sinn fein, dup, uup, pup, udp, tuv, sdlp, workers party, peter robinson, celtic, rangers, linfield, glentoran, crusaders, cliftonville, ballymena, coleraine, derry city, omagh, omagh bomb, omagh bombing, irish border, castlederg, south armagh, newry, peace process, stormont, frontline freelance, jamie bryson, willie frazer, jim dowson, colin duffy, carl reilly, martin meehan, joe cahill, loughgall, robert bradford, joanne mathers, terrorism, terrorists, bombs, shooting, riot police, gangsters at war, andre shoukri, jim gray, east tyrone, coagh, ardboe, robin jackson, glennane, udr 4, bellaghy, pomeroy, armagh, ira, uvf, northern ireland, ulster, troubles, inla, the troubles, documentary, utv, ian paisley, john hume, gerry adams, michael stone, martin mcguinness, johnny adair, billy hutchinson, david ervine, bobby sands, loyalist, republican, nationalist, unionist, irish british, uk, ireland, gusty spence, slab murphy, loughinisland, milltown, mcgurks, gibraltar, la mon, enniskillen, bloody sunday, operation banner, drumcree, flag protests, ceasefire, civil rights, protestant, catholic, mairead farrell, michelle gildernew, francie molloy, gerry kelly, conor murphy, crossmaglen, shankill, east belfast, short strand, cluan place, interface, red hand commando, ulster volunteer force, loyalist volunteer force, irish republican army, ulster freedom fighters, aghalee, lisburn, bangor, comber, warrenpoint, banbridge, ballymoney, ballyclare, dunloy, swinger fulton, john mcmichael, jackie mcdonald, jimmy birch, ulster press centre, govan protestant boys, ebpb, sbyc, spb, ycv, ibrox, sectarian, hate, bigotry, racism, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, hate crimes, ira ireland, mi5, special branch, undercover, gregory campbell, provos, brits, brits out, sydenham, cregagh, castlereagh, killinchy, killyleagh, glenavy, crumlin, strabane, bogside, brandywell, creggan, christine bleakley, zoe salmon, jimmy nesbitt, liam neeson, david healy, brendan rodgers, martin o'neill, eamonn holmes, colin murray, van morrison, dungannon, cookstown, mid ulster, billy wright, sam marshall, squeak seymour, torrens knight, stevie mckeag, c company, portadown, lurgan, craigavon, falls road, andersonstown, divis, poleglass, belvoir, ballybeen, twinbrook, ormeau, ballynafeigh, lower ormeau, orange order, apprentice boys, riot, parades, scarva, twelfth, rangers fc, the twelfth, 12th july, malone road, odyssey, titanic, tony blair, bertie ahern, alex maskey, glencairn, shankill butchers, lenny murphy, woodvale, ballygomartin, highfield, ardoyne, glenbryn, holy cross, hunger strikes, long kesh, the maze, h blocks, 1981, hunger strike, newtownards, larne, carrickfergus, ballycastle, giants causeway, u...
