Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams says the IRA was not involved in the murder of Kevin McGuigan.
His comments come after the PSNI said they suspected Provisional IRA involvement in the killing. Adams has hit out at those who he says have "opportunistically seized on the killing of Kevin McGuigan".
The murder has thrown the north's power-sharing executive into turmoil, with First Minister Peter Robinson says he can't work with Sinn Fein if IRA involvement is proven.
