Arrest of Muslims fuels fears of terror base in Ireland

FEARS that Ireland is being used as a base for terrorists planning attacks on Britain have increased after it emerged that two Muslims who have been living in Dublin were arrested in Holyhead 11 days ago.

North Wales police will decide today if they will charge the man and woman — who come originally from Algeria — after they were detained at the port on August 11 following a major surveillance operation.

Police forces on both sides of the Irish Sea have refused to comment on reports that information about making bombs was discovered on a laptop computer found in their possession. North Wales police merely confirmed several items were seized during the operation.
