The UVF's terror campaign

Both the UDA and the UVF, are said to have taken steps on decommissioning. But it is the UVF, and the smaller Red Hand Commando group with which it has links, that appears to have made the more significant move. 

During the Troubles the UVF and Red Hand Commando killed more than 570 people.

The majority of those, more than 400, were Catholic.

The group's youngest victim was under a year. The oldest was over 90 years old.

In October 1969 it shot dead the first policeman killed by paramilitaries and killed the first policewoman with a bomb in 1975.

Julian O'Neill looks back at the UVF's violent history.
