Man accused of explosives offence

A man has been charged with possession of explosives with intent to endanger life in the North by police investigating dissident republican activity.

The suspect, 32, was detained in Coalisland, Co Tyrone, yesterday following the recovery of an improvised device by detectives last Easter.

He is due to appear at Enniskillen Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.

It follows a series of searches in the south Armagh and east Tyrone area over the Easter weekend of 2011.
