(( Northern Ireland burns by night.
Young catholics take out their anger on the the largely protestant police
force and the ruc, as they are known, responds with force.
This has become a nightly ritual.
Inevitably the violence is escalating.
And early this morning, the bomb came back to Northern Ireland.
A car bomb blitzed a hotel in enniskillen where a wedding party was in
progress.
There was a warning, but forty people were still injured, and the hotel
itself lies in ruins.
A dublin-based irish-nationalist splinter group has has claimed
responsability.
FENTON: But the entire Catholic community now seems united in their anger
against the polce, the protestant militants and the British government.
And the events of the past week have swelled the ranks of supporters of the
IRA.
People who never marched before turned out today to protest the death of a
catholic man who was killed in this week's riots.
As families marched down the Falls Road in silent protest, the only sound
was the whirr of a british army surveillance helicopter.
Catholics are outraged by what they see as their continued treatment as
second class citizens.
GERRY ADAMS/SINN FEIN LEADER: WE ARE NOT, LET US NOTE THIS, WE ARE NOT
PREPARED TO HAVE OUR RIGHTS WALKED OVER BY THE RUC, BY JOHN MAJOR, OR ANYONE
ELSE. THE DANGER NOW IS THAT THE PROTEST MILITANTS WILL BREAK THEIR TWO
YEAR LONG CEASEFIRE.
DAVID ERVINE/PROTESTANT MILITANT: I THINK WE'RE AT THAT POINT NOW WHERE
WE'RE ON OUT WAY TO HELL AND BACK.
I DONT KNOW HOW IT CAN BE RETRIEVED AND I WOULD CERTAINLY SUGGEST THAT THE
VIOLENT REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT HAD THE CHOICE TO LIGHT THE TOUCHPAPER OR NOT AND
THEY CHOSE TO LIGHT THE TOUCHPAPER.
The sad reality is that this is not only the rebirth of what used to be
called "the troubles," it has brought the troubles to yet another generation in
