For decades she has stood as a symbol of hardline Irish republican militancy.

And today Marian Price – who 36 years ago tried to blow up the Old Bailey as part of an IRA bombing campaign – was again the subject of a huge anti-terror operation.

Heavily armed police raided Price’s home in the republican Andersonstown area of west Belfast and she was taken away for questioning about the Real IRA killings of Sappers Patrick Azimkar, 21, from London, and Mark Quinsey, 23.

Sectarian killers Where are they now?

Sean Murray

is an IRA veteran, involved in republican activities since 1969 and regarded as key figure in the organisation. He was arrested many times and given a 12-year sentence for explosives offences in 1982. Today a community activist, he is involved in contacts with the authorities and with Protestant groups on issues such as contentious parades and peacelines.

Michael Stone,

the loyalist described as one of Northern Ireland's most notorious but most mystifying murderers, came to the world's attention with a televised attack in 1988 on mourners at an IRA funeral. He killed three mourners with a revolver and hand grenades. After serving a lengthy prison sentence he staged another televised incident in 2006, attempting to burst into Belfast's Stormont parliament to attack republicans. He is appealing against the 16-year sentence he received.

Colin Duffy

is a veteran republican activist who is behind bars awaiting trial over the murders of two soldiers shot dead by the Real IRA in March. In the 1990s he faced murder charges in connection with the shootings of two police officers in Co Armagh, but the charges were dropped. Earlier he escaped with his life in an incident when a friend was shot dead by loyalists.

Pat Magee

is a Belfast republican known as the Brighton bomber who received multiple life sentences for planting a bomb which narrowly missed killing Margaret Thatcher in 1984. After many years in prison he has involved himself in forgiveness and reconciliation activities, often cooperating with Jo Berry, whose father, Conservative MP Sir Anthony Berry, died in the explosion.
