Pakistan not allowing ‘shrine’ to remain
For Pakistan is demolishing the compound where US forces killed Osama Bin Laden, in the north-western city of Abbottabad. They recognise that the three storey building would have the potential to be turned into a shrine by unrepentant al-Qaeda supporters.
It’s somewhat ironic, sickening and abhorrent that the DUP, working with Sinn Fein, are retaining the very H blocks where the IRA initiated a mass escape, where Billy Wright was murdered and where 10 republican hunger strikes died.
At best this is a sop to terrorism but realistically, as Nigel Dodds pointed out, it’s a Shrine to terrorists no matter what way it’s dressed up.
Sad and also true!
