Arsonists have destroyed 17 mobile phone masts in the greater Belfast area in the last two years. Most incidents happened in the west of the city, with west Belfast Sinn Féin MP Paul Maskey saying the attacks are “fuelled by inaccuracies and misconceptions”. At the end of last month, attacks appeared to spread beyond west Belfast as another mast was set alight on the Doagh Road in Newtownabbey. 

Why are the masts being attacked and who is behind them?
