Martin McGuinness, the Irish Republican Army warlord who led his underground, paramilitary movement toward reconciliation with Britain, and was Northern Ireland's deputy first minister for a decade in a power-sharing government, has died, his Sinn Fein party announced Tuesday on Twitter. He was 66.
The party said he died after a short illness.
McGuinness recently stepped down as first minister of the Northern Ireland regional government, formed after the IRA ended its violent campaign.
