Troubles: 1994 UVF double murder 'pure sectarianism'

Belfast Crown Court has heard from the former UVF leader Gary Haggarty that the murder of two Catholic men in 1994 was "pure sectarianism".Haggarty told the court they were not "seen as credible targets, they were just two Catholic men".Haggarty also told the court that the man on trial for the double murder was "unhappy he didn't get the guy in the back of the van".

He told the court that he was responsible for "looking after the test fire" of the weapon involved in the murders and that he had informed his handlers that it would "possibly be used in a shooting". Haggarty told the court that he had wished James Smyth "luck" before he went to "do what he had to do".
