PAISLEY ALLEGES DEATH THREAT
 10/01/97 10:26 EST

 Democratic Unionist leader, Ian Paisley said today that police warned
 him last night that he was under a death threat from loyalist
 paramilitaries. He would not say which group was behind the alleged
 threat but said it was linked to his opposition to the early release
 of paramilitary prisoners.

 An RUC spokesman said it was not RUC policy to comment on or discuss
 any individual's personal security. Paisley also claimed that a
 British army base in Kilkeel, Co Down, was being closed in "the start
 of demilitarisation". A British army spokesman confirmed that it
 proposed to close the base there but a final decision had not yet
 been taken.
