Show of strength e spari al bonfire repubblicano di West Belfast

Shots fired at West Belfast bonfire

Three masked men fired shots into the air at a bonfire in west Belfast on Tuesday night.

They were armed with an AK47, 9mm pistol and sawn-off shotgun.

Martin McAuley witnessed the incident.

Mr McAuley says it was lucky no one was seriously hurt.

The men appeared at the bonfire in the Divis area of the city, which was lit to mark the 40th anniversary of Internment.

Internment was the law passed by the UK government giving authorities the power to indefinitely detain terror suspects without trial.

A police spokesman says petrol bombs were thrown at them earlier in the night and residents blocked the roads.
