ADAMS CONDEMNS TRAGIC BLAST

Adams condemns tragic blast

FOR the first time in 30 years of terrorism, Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams condemned the outrage.
And he called on First Minister David Trimble to hold immediate talks with all the party leaders to discuss the crisis.
"I want to reiterate my words of condemnation," he said yesterday.
"I hope that those who planted this bomb understand the enormity of their actions. They should admit responsibility for it without delay and they should stop their activity immediately."
He said this was not a time for anyone to be playing politics with this tragedy. There is now an urgent need for Mr Trimble and Mr Mallon to call together the leaders of all the political parties to discuss this crisis.
The Belfast and District Trades' Union Council condemned the bombing as a fascist attack and warned against politicians who will want to rewrite the Belfast Agreement.
"It's now time for community courage - continuing the road of political stability and reconciliation," said spokesman Dessie Murray.
