The following INLA statement was received by the Republican Socialist Publicity Bureau,
Derry City, 6th September 2000, and forwarded on to local media outlets:
The Derry Brigade of the Irish National Liberation Army view with seriousness recent incidents in this city in which individuals used the name of the Irish National Liberation Army to make threats against members of the public. The Irish National Liberation Army state categorically that recent threats purporting to be issued on behalf of the Irish National Liberation Army did not emanate from the Irish National Liberation Army. Incidents include: Other incidents have also been reported to us and are currently under investigation. This type of behaviour will not be tolerated and anyone found guilty of this type of behaviour will face very serious consequences. We demand that anyone involved in these sinister activities stop immediately. The Irish National Liberation Army is on ceasefire. For anyone to use the name of the Irish National Liberation Army to make threats against other individuals for whatever reason puts at risk the valid perception that the ceasefire is fully intact and therefore the impending early release of Republican Socialist prisoners is risked. This will not be tolerated. No further statements will be issued on this matter.
