Ramble Inn attack : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ramble Inn attack
The Ramble Inn attack was a mass shooting at a rural pub on 2 July 1976 near Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is believed to have been carried out by the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), a loyalist paramilitary organisation. Six civilians were killed in the attack—five Protestants and one Catholic—and three others were wounded.〔("A Chronology of the Conflict: 1976" ). Conflict Archive on the Internet (CAIN)〕 ==Background== The mid-1970s was one of the deadliest periods of the Troubles. From February 1975 until February 1976, the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and British Government observed a truce.〔(Extracts from ''The Longest War: Northern Ireland and the IRA'' by Kevin J. Kelley ). Zed Books Ltd, 1988. Conflict Archive on the Internet (CAIN)〕 This, however, marked a rise in sectarian tit-for-tat killings. Ulster loyalist paramilitaries, fearing they were about to be forsaken by the British Government and forced into a united Ireland,〔Taylor, Peter (1999). ''Loyalists''. London: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc. p.142〕 increased their attacks on Irish Catholics and nationalists. Under orders not to engage British forces, some IRA units concentrated on tackling the loyalists. The fall-off of regular operations had caused serious problems of internal discipline and some IRA members engaged in revenge attacks also.〔 The tit-for-tat killings continued after the truce ended. On 5 June 1976, the UVF shot dead three Catholics and two Protestants in an attack on the Chrlorane Bar. This was claimed as revenge for the killing of two Protestants in a pub earlier that day. On 25 June 1976, gunmen opened fire inside a Protestant-owned pub in Templepatrick, County Antrim. Three Protestant civilians died. The attack was claimed by the "Republican Action Force", which was believed to be a covername used by some members of the IRA.〔
