Two men in 'joint control' of 167kg of explosives jailed for total of 15 and a half years

Two men who were “in joint control” of 167kg of explosives found inside a car - enough to make a bomb three quarters as large as the one detonated in Omagh in 1998 - have been jailed for total of 15 and a half years.
Presiding judge Mr Justice Tony Hunt also told defendant John Brock (46), who has a previous conviction before the Special Criminal Court, that "the time has now come for him to cut this out" and that he could avail of an 18-month sentence reduction if he undertook to dissociate from dissidents.
