Loyalist paramilitary leaders back end to violence

Loyalist paramilitary leaders have called for an end to the sectarian violence that has rocked Northern Ireland's peace process.

A statement was issued after British and Irish government officials held crunch talks with the First and Deputy First Ministers on the Union flag crisis.

Leaflets appealing for the rioting to stop have been endorsed by 41 different organisations including paramilitaries, church leaders and community groups.
