Man charged in connection with weapons find

A 27-year-old man was tonight charged with possession of explosives, firearms and ammunition with intent to endanger life.

He is expected to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court tomorrow morning.

The charges relate to the discovery of arms by police at a house at Carlisle Road in north Belfast on Saturday night.

A senior police officer linked the find to the republican Irish National Liberation Army.

Yesterday police put on show the find, which included four primed pipe bombs, an anti-personnel mine containing high explosives, two detonators, a sub machine gun, a single barrelled shotgun and a large quantity of assorted ammunition.
