INLA Statement on Execution of King Rat
27 December 1997

The following is the text of a statement supplied to the Socialist Republican Publicity Bureau:

"The Irish National Liberation Army claim responsibility for the execution of King Rat, Billy Wright.

"This action was taken against the backdrop of ongoing genocide against the nationalist community. These attacks are being mainly conducted by the LVF (Loyalist Volunteer Force), until this morning by Billy Wright.

"The execution of Wright is in keeping with the Irish National Liberation Army's position of defense and retaliation -- It does not breach our no first strike policy.

"In conclusion, we warn loyalist paramilitaries against further attacks against the nationalist community. If this warning is not heeded we will have no hesitation in making sure those who prey on the nationalist working class pay the ultimate price.
