Paisley vows to protect source

Leading Democratic Unionist Ian Paisley Jnr threatened today to defy a High Court judge who ordered him to reveal a source that gave him evidence on the murder of a high-profile loyalist paramilitary.

A public inquiry probing the murder of Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) leader Billy Wright, shot dead in 1997 by republicans in the top security Maze prison, launched a legal challenge against Mr Paisley.
