Hain and Adams in crisis talks

Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Hain will hold crisis talks with Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams today following the unmasking of a trusted aide to the West Belfast MP as a British spy.

The talks have been arranged after the expulsion from Sinn Féin of its former head of administration at Stormont, Denis Donaldson, after he confessed to having worked as an agent for police special branch and Army intelligence.
