BRITISH MI5 MONITORING AL QAEDA IN IRELAND

GUARDIAN (UK):
MI5 has set up a dedicated team to monitor suspected al-Qaeda activists and supporters in Ireland.

The Observer has learnt that an eight-strong unit is spying on Islamists based in Belfast, Lisburn and mid-Ulster, but is also liaising via the Police Service of Northern Ireland with the Garda Siochana across the border.

The revelation coincides with the arrest yesterday of a suspected Islamist terror unit in Co Kerry. Three Afghans were in custody after the Garda swooped on an apartment in Tralee and found devices they believe could be used to make bombs.


The new unit at MI5's regional headquarters at Holywood, on the outskirts of Belfast, also monitors inbound US military flights to Shannon airport in case of an Islamist terror attack on Irish soil.

... The three men arrested yesterday in Kerry were still in Garda custody last night after the discovery of devices believed to be for building bombs at an apartment complex. Gardai raided the Atlas House complex at McCowen's Lane in Tralee late on Friday night.
