Liam, I do not assume anything. If you read elsewhere in the BT you will see that the Orange Volunteers are clearly mentioned.
You are also correct in that dissident republicans could also have made threats but these,as yet, have not been clearly defined.

liam, I have read HC's post and it does not mention the word "Unionist" once. HC refers to people who are supposed to have decommissioned. Since both Republicans and Loyalists are supposed to have decommissioned, I fail to see where you came to the conclusion that HC meant that it was "Unionists" who were behind this threat.

Personally, I think it is a bunch of kids on the dole; with nothing better to do than get kicks out of seeing their threats in the news.

hc you assume these threats come from unionists, mr adams himself would acknowledge they could just as well come from dissident republicans, in fact more likely.

These death threats are by people who have decommissioned?
I would imagine that an attempt on Mr.Adams life would bring about a massive retaliation and welcome in another few decades of Troubles.
Some people never learn, it would appear.
Then again, we are talking NI and some people never learn.
