Desmond “Dessie” Noonan, the head of Anti-Fascist Action (AFA) in Machester, England and a well-known drug dealer and gang king-pin, was stabbed to death Friday night in a Pakistani area after a night of hard drinking.
Police hold Noonan, 46, responsible for the deaths of nearly thirty people in murders related to the operations of the organized crime family led by his brother, a fluent Urdu speaker. “We have more guns than the police, we’re a bigger army than the police” Noonan boasted at one point.
Noonan’s leadership of Anti-Fascist Action, a group with close ties to illegal drugs and guns, was marked by serious violence against nationalists, including Noonan’s use of a gun to threaten a BNP organizer. The Noonan family also allegedly has links to the Irish Republican Army.
