Gangland boss Ross McGill’s Tamo Junto (TMJ) gang has launched a series of firebomb attacks on rivals over the past year.
McGill, 32, went to war with Edinburgh drugs kingpin Mark Richardson last year after blaming his crew for using fake bank notes to pay for a £500,000 consignment of cocaine.
Richardson’s associates in the Daniel crime clan from Glasgow were also targeted as the TMJ gang relentlessly sought revenge.
The Record has reported on some of the most disturbing incidents since the feud started 14 months ago.
Disturbing footage captured the moment the fued started when a petrol bomb was hurled through the window of the beauty salon owned by Mark Richardson’s moll.
A huge ball of orange and yellow fire erupted inside the premises as the hooded thug inspected the damage before scarpering away.
The blaze at the Belle Cheveux beauty parlour in Albert Street on March 6 last year was the opening salvo in the gang war.

Logan Carlin was convicted of the firebomb attack at the salon and torching DB Auto Services in the city’s Milton Street days later.
He was jailed for seven years and four months at the High Court in Edinburgh in February.
The Daniel clan were targeted in a barrage of attacks in April of last year as the TMJ gang moved the war onto Glasgow.
Marshall O’Hara, 21, Fraser Stewart, 22, and Aiden McLaughlin, 21, were jailed for a total of 18 years this week for their involvment in a number of the attacks.
Between April 7 and 14 the men torched three residential properties and a carpet factory.

The first attack took place in the early hours at a property in Ashgill Road in the city’s Milton.
James Daniel, Margaret McIntyre and two others were inside at the time and escaped through the backdoor as fire ravaged through a bedroom.
The same morning Robert Daniel’s home in Meadow Court in Stepps, Lanarkshire was next to be targeted.
A blaze was started at the property and a £70,000 BMW X5 in the driveway was also wrecked having been torched.
The Carpet Store Factory Outlet in Bishopbriggs, owned by a Daniel associate, was also set alight.

The final attack was on April 14 at a property in Colston Drive, also Bishopbriggs.
Norman ‘Snudge’ Daniel and his wife were said to be inside the house at the time.
They were awoken by seeing flames and immediately dialled 999. A fire extinguisher luckily quelled the blaze.
A leading member of Richardson’s crew was targeted when a Land Rover and Audi parked outside a house in Edinburgh’s posh Morningside suburb were torched on May 8.
Dramatic images showed flames ripping through the front end of the luxury 4×4 vehicle on the driveway of the property in Pitcairn Grove as a masked thug pours petrol on the Audi.
