REPUBLICAN splinter group the Irish Republican Liberation Army, has threatened to kill Sinn Fein members over the party's support for District Policing Partnerships.
The IRLA has ordered Sinn Fein’s DPP members to quit the bodies before Christmas or face being targeted.
The group, which is thought to be made up of former IRA and INLA members, made its threat during a display of weapons held at a secret location in west Belfast.
Members brandished handguns and an AK47 assault rifle.
A spokesman told reporters: “All Sinn Fein members in the north have 14 days to resign from the DPPs or military action will be taken against them.
“This is a direct response to the Sinn Fein leadership inviting police into republican west Belfast.”
