UDA behind death threats to republicans, claim Sinn Fein

The UDA was today accused of hiding behind a new cover name after a death threat was issued against four prominent Belfast republicans.

A statement by the Loyalist Reaction Force naming Sinn Fein MLA Alex Maskey, councillor Eoin O’Broin, Martin Meehan, Shankill Road bomber Sean Kelly and Martin Meehan junior was sent to a newsroom in the city.
