Adair due for release today

UDA commander, Johnny Adair, is due for release from jail within the next two hours, with scores of loyalists gathering to greet him outside Maghaberry jail in Co Antrim.

Adair is leader of the Ulster Defence Association's so-called "C company", which police sources claim was behind the murders of at least 20 Catholic civilians in the 1980s and early 1990s.
