A man convicted of the IRA Shankill bombing is being questioned today in connection with the shooting of a teenager in Belfast on Tuesday night.

Investigators who cleared the RUC of having any advance knowledge of a loyalist paramilitary pub massacre were hampered by missing paperwork, a Northern Ireland Assemblyman who triggered the probe claimed today.

Petrol bombs were thrown at a Catholic Church today – just days after the parish priest called for the release of the Shankill bomber Sean Kelly.

One of Northern Ireland’s most notorious bombers was re-arrested and returned to prison today after he resumed terrorism links.
