A GROUP claiming to
be the colour party of
firebombers
Meibion
Glyndwr led a nationalist parade through a
North Wales seaside
town on Saturday.
Nine men dressed in IRAstyle black berets and sunglasses led 250 marchers
through Abergele in Clwyd
on the 20th anniversary of the
attempt by two men to blow
up a train carrying Prince
Charles to his investiture.
North Wales police took no action as the men, with woven
badges on their shirts proclaiming they were members'of the
Colour Party of Meibion
Glyndwr, led the annual Abergele Martyrs March.
It is the first time any group
has come forward to publicly as-
sociate itself with Meibion
Glyndwr who have claimed responsibility for the firebombing
campaign.
About 250 people paraded
through the town with musical
accompaniment from three Scottish Republican Bands, to
commemorate the death of 22year-old Alwyn Jones and 36year-old George Taylor.
The men were killed when a
gelignite bomb they intended to
plant exploded as they walked
from a pub in the town towards
the railway line.
On Saturday a massive police
presence kept a low profile. A
feared confrontation between
marchers and the National Front
(NF) failed to materialise.
Members of the Welsh
National Front on Friday laid
wreaths at the graves of the two
"martyrs".
In recent months the NF, a
neo-Nazi political group, claimed
it was launching a major recruitment drive in North Wales to lure
Welsh Nationalists to join them.
The group says it plans to field a
candidate in Gwynedd at the
next General Election
Special Branch officers attended Saturday's march but
police said there had been no
trouble.
The colour party set fire to and
spat on a union jack flag in Abergele's market car park.
There was only one arrest
when police detained the founder
and leader of the Free Wales
Army in the 1960s, Cayo Jones,
for allegedly being drunk.A
spokesman for the group said
that none of his colleagues had
burned any Welsh or English
property.
Scottish Republicans joined
the parade in commemoration of
the two men who were both
members of Mudiad Amdiflyn
Cymru.
POLICE REPORTED few incidents as the march made its way through Abergele town.
