DUBLIN — Irish Republican Army dissidents threatened Sunday to kill top Sinn Fein politician Martin McGuinness and resume attacks in England as part of their efforts to wreck the IRA cease-fire and Northern Ireland power-sharing.
An Easter statement from the outlawed Real IRA distributed to Irish media branded McGuinness a traitor because he holds the top Irish Catholic post in Northern Ireland’s power-sharing government with British Protestants.
McGuinness offered no response. He has appealed to the public to tell police about dissident IRA activities and said extremist threats won’t deflect him from cooperating with Protestant past enemies.
