"Despite its supposed "war" on Irish republicanism, the LVF has only ever killed Catholic civilians and fellow loyalists."
Is that a fact or your opinion? They are undoubtedly ruthless terrorists but this comment is not NPOV.
Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) attacked Terrorists target (Dec. 27, 1997, Northern Ireland (UK)) Incident Date: Dec. 27, 1997
Terrorist Organization(s): Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF)
Target: Terrorists
City: Dungannon
Country: Northern Ireland (UK)
Region: Western Europe
Tactic: Assassination
Weapon: Firearms
Fatalities: 1
Injuries: 3
Description: The Loyalist Volunteer Forces (LVF) opened fire on the Glengannon Hotel in Dungannon specifically to kill doorman Seamus Dillon, a former Irish Republican Army (IRA) assassin who had spent more than 10 years in prison. The act was in response to the recent killing of LVF leader Billy Wright by the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA). Three other people including a 14-year-old boy were injured.
- Mind you, this doesn't say anything for the LVF's target-choosing either – the INLA and IRA are and were separate outfits altogether (and at times violent rivals).
- Can we take the NPOV tag down? There's no dispute here that merits it. Surely we can just tinker with the wording of that sentence, and produce sources (CAIN for example). QuartierLatin 1968 15:30, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Disambig IRA
Have left this link pointing to IRA disambig page, as eon't know whether this a ref to OIRA or PIRA. Anyone who knows more, please link. Cheers JackyR 23:19, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] What's with the flag?!
Insertformulahere That is DEFINITELY not the LVF flag. It is not the flag of ANY Loyalist organisation, though seems a messed around with adaptation of the UVF banner. Remove! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.189.150.195 (talk) 20:54, 17 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Full of well cited facts but badly written
The article needs a rewrite to make it more encyclopedic. Many of the sentences are too long, refer to many things and should be split out. Also some of the stuff in here is irrelevant and should be removed. I would do it, but I know too little about this subject. Perhaps someone who knows more can do it. --81.132.246.132 20:29, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
