Meehan receives death threat

North Belfast Republican Martin Meehan has received what he has described as "the latest in a long line of death threats from loyalist paramilitaries".

Meehan was visited by the PSNI last weekend and warned his life was in danger. The PSNI said a phone call to the Samaritans claimed that an unnamed loyalist organisation had been involved in a shooting at what it believed was Meehan's home.

"No such incident has taken place as far as I am aware, and it is likely they targeted the wrong house after a number of incidents in recent times. I would remind all nationalists to remain vigilant given this serious threat against me."
