Adair's lawyers begin NI court challenge

Lawyers for renegade UDA commander Johnny Adair are due before the High Court in Belfast today to challenge the Northern Secretary's decision to revoke his early release licence and return him to jail.

Adair was re-arrested on Friday night on the basis of security information which said he was involved in paramilitarism, drugs, extortion and money-laundering, was a member of an illegal organisation and had acquired, possessed and distributed illegal weapons.
