Durkan condemns posting of bullets to MLA
SDLP leader, Mark Durkan has condemned those behind the posting of live bullets to a party colleague at his home in Co Down.
South Down SDLP assembly member PJ Bradley received the ammunition at his home in Warrenpoint on Tuesday.
Mr Durkan said: "This is a very serious development and must be strongly condemned.
"Those who are responsible, whether involved in this attack or involved in demonising SDLP members of the Policing Board and District Policing Partnerships, must stop their activities."
This is the second such incident of intimidation involving Mr Durkan's party in recent weeks. In April, West Belfast assembly member Alex Attwood was sent a letter bomb.
The device, sent to the Policing Board's offices in Clarendon Docks in Belfast, was addressed to SDLP representative Alex Attwood.
Army bomb experts dealt with the device which was taken away for forensic examination.
