Dungannon man receives death threat

A DUNGANNON man who has been subjected to continuous Crown Forces harrasment has been told that a loyalist death threat has been issued against him.

The man, who has had his home repeatedly photographed by the RUC and British Army in recent weeks has been told to step up his personal security.

He has in the past been threatened by the RUC and British army because he would not answer questions about his family and friends.

Expressing his concern about the situation, local Sinn Féin councillor Francie Molloy said, ``There is a growing fear in the nationalist community that there is a high level of collusion between the Crown Forces and loyalist murder gangs.

``Of patricular worry in this case is that the photographs taken of this man and his home might fall into the hands of the death squads.''
