Real IRA accused to be extradited from Slovakia

Three suspected members of the Real IRA are to be extradited to Britain from Slovakia.

The three Irishmen were arrested last month in western Slovakia, where they were allegedly trying to buy weapons from undercover British agents posing as arms dealers from Iraq.

However, the Slovakian authorities declined to say when Michael Christopher McDonald, Declan John Rafferty and Fintan Paul O'Farrell would be extradited.
