Bomb alert at McGuinness home
A Sinn Fein spokesperson has confirmed that a threat was received
claiming a bomb had been placed at the home of Mid -Ulster MP Martin
McGuinness.
The bomb threat had been relayed to the Samaritans in Belfast on
Tuesday March 16.
The Sinn Fein Assembly member was not at home, he was attending St.
Patrick's Day celebrations in the United States, when the RUC
contacted a member of his family and informed them of the threat.
The spokesperson continued, `` after carrying out a cursory search of
the area the RUC declared it a hoax. Sinn Fein personnel then carried
out a further check of gardens and parked cars. Nothing was found.''
