McGuinness told of 'real and active threat' against him

The North's deputy first Minister Martin McGuiness says he's been told of a real and active threat against him.

The PSNI have warned Stormont’s Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness of a “real and active” threat against his life from dissident republicans, the Sinn Fein veteran has said.

Mr McGuinness said detectives have linked the sinister development to the politician’s condemnation of a mortar bomb find in his native Derry on Sunday night and his associated statements of support for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
