The Sinn Fein president, Mr Gerry Adams, confirmed in a television programme broadcast in Northern Ireland last night that his wife had been informed by the RUC of a fresh loyalist death threat against him.
He said the RUC visited their home that morning. "They told my wife that my details, my personal details, were in the hands of a loyalist group and my life was at risk. "They would not tell her what details. They wouldn't tell her what precautions I should take but they told her that I should take precautions."
The Stormont Education Minister, Mr Martin McGuinness, said he and his wife had been advised by the RUC to review their personal security following loyalist threats.
