Two Co Cork men waited in a car while two others carried out a firebomb attack on a house in Cork last year, the Special Criminal Court heard today.

The court was told that Anthony Crowley and Alan Hickey were arrested as they sat in a car 10 miles from where a van loaded with six five gallon drums of petrol "exploded in a fireball" after it was ignited outside a detached house at Littleisland.
