Gardaí and the PSNI are investigating if four suspect explosive devices, seized in the North, were possibly intended for use in terrorist-type attacks on asylum seeker accommodation.

Two men were arrested by the garda anti-terrorism unit early Wednesday on suspicion of being members of an unlawful organisation — specifically a violent right-wing organisation.
