McGuinness reveals dissident republican death threats

DISSIDENT republican groups are plotting to kill Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, he revealed yesterday.

Sinn Féin said the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) told Mr McGuinness that a threat to his life had been made by dissident republicans, who murdered two soldiers and a police officer last month.

In the aftermath of the murders, Mr McGuinness branded the killers traitors to Ireland and today he said the threat against his own life would not deter him from his efforts to build the peace process.
