Gardaí to work with foreign agencies on IS arrests

Garda counter-terrorism officers are to consult with foreign security agencies following the arrest of two men on suspicion of funding so-called Islamic State (IS), writes Cormac O’Keeffe of the Irish Examiner.

The arrests were part of a co-ordinated operation between Ireland and two other European states targeting a money-laundering racket suspected of supplying funds to the terror organisation.
