Arrest of 3 men foils suspected bomb attack plot

A SECRET operation by the Garda anti-gang unit has prevented a likely bomb attack.

Three members of one of Dublin’s most notorious gangs were arrested in the late-night swoop in the Ballyfermot area of south west Dublin.

The Organised Crime Unit (OCU), supported by the heavily armed Emergency Response Unit (ERU), cornered two cars on Ballyfermot Road at 11.20pm on Monday.
