Police in Northern Ireland intercepted a letter addressed to a Belfast-based journalist that contained a bullet. The reporter, who has been covering the loyalist "flag riots", has not been named.
The president of the National Union of Journalists, Barry McCall, called it "a despicable attempt to intimidate journalists working in extremely difficult circumstances" that "represents an attack on journalism and on democracy."
Several politicians have received similar letters containing bullets.
