Loyalist terrorists in Northern Ireland have issued a threat against a journalist working for the Belfast Telegraph and Sunday Life. The breakaway South East Antrim UDA, which was behind a spate of similar threats earlier this year, is being linked to this latest intimidation. The PSNI is taking the threat seriously and officers yesterday advised the journalist that “loyalist paramilitaries may intend carrying out an attack”. Condemning the latest threat, Eoin Brannigan, Editor-in-Chief of the Belfast Telegraph and the Sunday Life, said: “This is the second time this year we’ve had our journalists threatened in this manner. Séamus Dooley, Assistant General Secretary, said: “We unreservedly condemn this latest threat."
