Subversives may be involved in botched kidnap

DETECTIVES are investigating whether subversives may have been involved in the latest botched tiger kidnapping in north Dublin.

The Garda Special Detective Unit has been drawn in to assist detectives after one of the three raiders was described as having a Northern accent.

Senior officers yesterday said it was too early to draw definite conclusions from this, but said they would be investigating the possibility of involvement by subversives or former subversives.
