BELFAST - Police in Northern Ireland are being forced to flee their homes by nationalist militants stepping up attacks on a force they consider to be a symbol of British rule, a police official said on Wednesday.

More than 30 police officers and their families had been forced to flee their homes and had to be rehoused elsewhere since the start of last year because of the threat of violence directed against them, Police Federation chairman Terry Spence said.

Attacks aimed at police officers, and others, have increased over the past two years and are threatening to upset a delicate peace between Catholics and Protestants brokered after a 1998 deal mostly ended three decades of violence, Spence said.
