Terrorism probe involves FBI, Interpol, and Met

The Garda-led investigation into the funding of international terrorism which led to the arrest and charge of an Irish citizen last week has involved the FBI, Interpol and the London Metropolitan Police, a court has been told.

Hassan Bal, aged 25, formerly of an address at O’Connell St in Waterford, was refused bail when he made his second appearance before Waterford District Court yesterday.

He is charged with providing funding for a foreign terrorist group on October 2, 2015, and attempting to collect funding for a foreign terrorist group on October 23, 2015.
