Mistaken identity claim over Irishman’s arrest

AN Irishman who remains in custody in Israel after being arrested at the weekend is not a master bomb maker for the Real IRA, his father said last night.

Liam Morgan said the accusation that his son Sean, a journalist, travelled to Palestine to coach militants in the use of explosives was so “wide of the mark it makes no sense”.

The 42-year-old Belfast man was still in an Israeli detention centre last night following three days of questioning by members of Shin Bet, the country’s internal security service.
