Protestant guerrilla boss Johnny “Mad Dog” Adair was released from jail and whisked out of Northern Ireland, a Prison Service spokesman said. He had served the mandatory two-thirds of his 16-year sentence.
Adair, under a death threat from his former paramilitary comrades in the outlawed Ulster Defense Assn., was taken to Britain, where his family lives, in effect, in exile. The group accuses him of ordering the killing of UDA rival John Gregg.
