Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams has issued an appeal to four men who failed to turn up to court yesterday for sentencing in an attempted kidnapping case.

Mr Adams said that the four men, who were to be sentenced for their part in the 2004 attempted kidnapping of dissident republican Bobby Tohill, should have attended the sentening. He appealed for them to turn up to the Belfast court.

The court has issued bench warrants for Gerard McCrory, Liam Rainey, Thomas Tolan and Harry Fitzsimons, all from Belfast.
