Two men are being questioned in connection with the murder of a British agent in Donegal more than 10 years ago.

Denis Donaldson, a former leading Sinn Féin member, was shot dead in the Doochary area of Donegal in April 2006.

It happened months after he was exposed as an agent who had worked for MI5 for over 20 years.
