Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. John Gregg was a senior member of the UDA/UFF loyalist organisation in Northern Ireland. From the 1990s until his shooting death by rival associates, he served as brigadier of its South East Antrim Brigade. He was considered a "hawk" in Loyalist circles. Born in 1957 and raised in a Protestant family, Gregg joined the Ulster Young Militants, the youth wing of the loyalist paramilitary Ulster Defence Association at the age of 14. He spent six months in jail for rioting in 1977. He later became part of the UDA South East Antrim Brigade. Members of this brigade were believed to be behind the killings of Catholic postman Danny McColgan, Protestant teenager Gavin Brett and Trevor Lowry, and a spate of pipe bomb attacks on the homes of Catholics. On 14 March 1984, he severely wounded Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams in an attack ordered as a response to the earlier killings of Ulster Unionist Party politicians Robert Bradford and Edgar Graham
