REPUBLICAN godfathers are using GIRLS to target drug dealers. Terror chiefs turned to female assassins after the Real IRA was thrown into turmoil when Dublin boss Alan Ryan, 32, was shot dead last September. A source said: “The Northern dissidents are using women to target gangsters because they won’t be under the same scrutiny as prominent gunmen. “It’s like something out of Love/Hate and the character Lizzie who killed Darren.” A special probe by the Irish Sun today reveals how new dissident leaders have: Recruited former Provo ROBBERS to their ranks Declared WAR on murdered godfather Eamon Kelly’s drug-dealing mob Vowed to KILL senior members of Ryan’s gang. The source added: “The Northern leaders have dismantled Ryan’s gang because of their love for money. There are orders to shoot Ryan’s friends on sight — and the drugs gangs who are refusing to cough up.”
Hit ... RIRA boss Butterly shot dead in pub carpark last week Cops remain on high alert after the killing of Ryan associate Peter Butterly, 34, on Wednesday.

Slain ... Ryan killed Although dissidents from the North attended Ryan’s funeral last September, they have now turned against them. One source said: “The only reason they went there was to keep Ryan’s gang onside because they knew they had a lot of weapons. “But once terrorists in the North knew Ryan’s gang were keeping the proceeds of robberies and extortion rackets they moved against them.”
