Irish police have arrested a man and a woman in the Republic of Ireland after intercepting a vehicle containing what authorities described as an “extremely significant” and “highly sophisticated” bomb. The car was stopped near Carrickmacross close to the border as it was reportedly being transported for an attack in Northern Ireland.
The operation was specifically targeted at dissident republican activities. According to police, the intercepted explosives represent a major threat that was successfully disrupted before reaching its intended destination.
The two suspects remain in custody as detectives continue their investigation into the planned cross-border attack.
