MI5 ALLA CACCIA DI NUOVI DEPOSITI DI ARMI
Si scandagliano le aree remote come Brecon Beacons e Dartmoor
Sale il timore che i dissidenti stiano organizzando un attentato di estrema gravità, ed inevitabile non presuppore tra gli obiettivi più papabili, la visita di Regina Elisabetta II in Irlanda, in programma dal 17 maggio prossimo, oppure un attacco nella mainland britannica.
Le operazioni di intelligence si concentrano nel sud- ovest e nel Galles. L’MI5 sta lavorando alacremente per setacciare luoghi nascosti o impervi come Brecon Beacons e Dartmoor, dove potrebbero trovarsi ulteriori depositi di armi dell’IRA dopo quello ‘consistente’ rinvenuto a Coalisland, la scorsa settimana.
MI5 lead hunt for IRA arms dumps (Sunday Express)
MI5 officers are looking for IRA arms dumps in remote spots
IRISH terrorists are feared to be planning an attack on mainland Britain using explosives hidden in Wales and the South-west.
MI5 officers are looking for IRA arms dumps in remote spots, such as the Brecon Beacons and Dartmoor.
They suspect material from these caches will be used in an attack timed to coincide with the Queen’s visit to the Irish Republic next month.
The alert comes after a van containing a “very substantial” bomb was left under a flyover on the main Belfast to Dublin road in Newry on Friday.
Last week a huge arsenal was found in Northern Ireland. This was linked to a man arrested in Scotland over the murder of policeman Ronan Kerr in Omagh, Co Tyrone.
