Real IRA boss’ pal gets new threats Published: 11 hrs ago 0
THE man who was blasted when Real IRA boss Alan Ryan was whacked has received a fresh death threat. Terrified Aaron Nealis, 33, is just one of a number of Ryan’s cronies who’ve been warned they’re on a new dissident republican hit-list. Nealis, from Sligo, had a lucky escape last September when he was hit in the leg as best pal Ryan was shot dead. He’s now keeping a low profile after a feared terrorist launched a new purge against Ryan’s pals. Officers from the Gardai’s Special Detective Unit are aware of the threats. A source said: “Nealis is just the latest in a long list of Ryan’s friends who have been told their lives are in danger. He’s lucky he wasn’t killed last year and he’s also a target for the criminal gang intent on targeting anyone associated with Ryan.”
