Man arrested following seizure of forged ID documents
Gardaí in Dublin have arrested a 42-year-old man following the seizure of counterfeit identification documents in the city yesterday.
The man was arrested after forged passports, drivers licences, cash, computer equipment and a laminating machine were found during a raid on a flat in the Harold’s Cross area.
Reports in the tabloid press this morning claimed the man was an Algerian with suspected links to Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida network.
He was reportedly being watched for some time by the Garda National Surveillance Unit.
