Quain Irish passport holders on terror list

THE five Irish citizens whose passport numbers were used on forged documents by the killers of a senior Hamas military commander are automatically named on a worldwide terror list, Foreign Minister Micheál Martin said.

The minister warned that Irish passport holders would be less welcome in countries as a result of five of the assassination squad using fraudulent Irish passports.

Mr Martin said he had already received a report of an Irish businessman who had experienced “very negative treatment” in Dubai because of the perception Ireland was involved in the killing.
