Sinn Fein has described a package sent to UTV containing live ammunition and the names of six people as "sinister and disturbing".

It is understood among those named in the threat were Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams' press aide as well as the editor of the Andersonstown News.

The addresses of some of those named are believed to have been included.

Sinn Fein assembly member Paul Maskey said the threats claimed to be from the Red Hand Defenders.

"Following the attack on my colleague Michelle Gildernew's office in Lisnaskea last week, this news is sinister, disturbing and not in isolation," Mr Maskey said.

"I urge unionist politicians to show mature leadership, condemn these threats and use whatever influence they have to stop these actions."
