People in Lurgan, Co Armagh, are preparing a dossier of complaints against the security forces for submission to the Independent Commission on Policing following rioting in the town last Monday.
Four pounds of Semtex, ammunition, a grenade warhead and coffee-jar bombs were uncovered by police and army during the search throughout Monday.
Nationalist anger rose at lunchtime and by late afternoon pitched battles had broken out between masked youths and police and troops in riot gear. Father Kieran McPartland claimed troops had driven up and down in jeeps, taunting young people. Lurgan solicitor, Mrs Rosemary Nelson, was instructed by residents to compile a dossier for submission to the Independent Commission on Policing.
The RUC said all complaints would be investigated, and said all reasonable people would welcome their success in recovering explosive devices and ammunition.
