Bullets sent to victims’ campaigner
REPUBLICANS are being blamed for issuing a death threat to a prominent victims’ campaigner.
The message containing two live bullets was sent to the home of Families Acting for Innocent Relatives spokesman Willie Frazer.
A statement from FAIR said: “Not content with telephone threats and abuse, they have resorted to sending death threats to Mr Frazer’s home.
“The disgusting threat in a Christmas card with two 9mm bullets enclosed threatened that this would be the victims’ worker’s last Christmas.”
The organisation said the Government should move to protect Mr Frazer.
“FAIR as a group are disgusted at this act and now call on the Secretary of State to review William Frazer’s personal security.”
Mr Frazer himself said those behind the threat were sick.
“I have suffered a tirade of abuse over recent weeks which has culminated in today’s death threat. At a time when we all hope to enjoy a peaceful family Christmas, this act is both sick and pointless.
“Nothing shows the depths to which republicans will sink more than threats like these.
“While we welcome decommissioning I would rather republicans were a little more imaginative and positive.”
The PSNI refused to comment on the alleged threat.
A spokesman said: “We do not comment on the security of individuals however if we receive information that an individual needs to review ther security we take steps to inform them immediately.
“We would never ignore anything which may put an individual at risk.”
