The threat to police from dissident republicans is extremely high following a bomb attack in Armagh, a senior officer warned today.

A 32-year-old man is due in court in the North this morning in connection with the discovery of a cannabis-growing operation in south Armagh earlier this week.

ASSETS worth £700,000 (€1.02 million) belonging to two alleged fuel smugglers in south Armagh have been frozen by the Northern High Court.
