The Deputy First Minister made the claims yesterday.
Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister insists he's ready to answer questions about his former role as an IRA commander.
Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness says he backs a historical investigations team and a truth recovery process to help reconciliation in Northern Ireland.
He wants the British government to open its files on "The Troubles" too - and says he's prepared to appear before tribunals which are investigating the past.
