In an interview with the Belfast Telegraph a UVF spokerson has said they accept the PIRA’s war is “finished” . The person denied there is a UVF threat against Raymond McCord senior or any journalist. They also claim that there could be an unexploded bomb in Dublin’s Mansion House, part of a failed attempt to wipe out the republican leadership in 1981. UPDATE A suspicious device has been found and there is also speculation they will re-engage with the Decommissioning Body.In response Sinn Fein is claiming collusion and a search is now underway (despite the warning apparently being given a week ago).
