New loyalist death threats
Republicans throughout the North have been told they are being targeted by loyalists, yet the RUC is refusing to give those targeted any information as to the nature of the threats.
Since Monday, 4 June, the RUC has delivered letters to the homes of leading republicans including Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness and his wife, and Mitchel McLaughlin informing them that their details were on computer files found in a loyalist dump.
Derry mayor Cathal Crumley and Bik McFarlane were also on the list, while party candidates Michelle Gildernew, Joe O'Donnell and Charlie McHugh from Castlederg have also been warned about their personal safety.
In a statement, Sinn Féin chairperson Mitchel McLaughlin called on republicans and nationalists to be vigilant and went on to criticise the RUC for refusing to divulge ``sufficient information'' about the threats.
``As usual, the RUC have refused to disclose any information despite being asked where the information was discovered, the identity and affiliation of the loyalists involved and whether any arrests have been made.
``This is typical of a force which has no desire to provide a policing service to our community,'' said McLaughlin.
