There have been several violent incidents in Northern Ireland following the killing of the Protestant paramilitary leader Billy Wright.

Wright's former comrades in the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) retaliated on Saturday night by shooting dead Seamus Dillon, a 45-year-old hotel security guard and former Republican prisoner who had served a life sentence for murder.

A number of people have been wounded in a shooting attack in County Tyrone, and buses were set on fire in Ballymena and the mainly Protestant towns of Portadown - Mr Wright's main power base.
