Dissident threats to SDLP, Sinn Féin

The SDLP says it has been warned by police of threats from loyalist paramilitaries in the south-east Antrim area.

It has believed the threat of an attack on a member of the party came from elements once associated with the UDA.

It has also emerged that some Sinn Féin members of district policing partnerships in Northern Ireland have been warned they are being targeted by dissident republicans.
