McConville son says Gerry Adams 'threatened backlash'
A son of Jean McConville has said Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams warned him several years ago there would be a "backlash" if he released the names of those he believed killed her.
Michael McConville told the BBC's Today programme he took Mr Adams' remarks "as a threat".
Mr McConville said he was disappointed that Mr Adams was released without charge on Sunday after being questioned for four days about the 1972 killing.
Mr Adams has claimed there was a "sustained, malicious, untruthful campaign" against him.
