10 arrested following police operation
Ten people were arrested in connection with investigations into serious terrorist crime, following a number of searches this morning in counties Armagh and Fermanagh.
A major police operation was been conducted by officers from the PSNI's Crime Operations Department in an effort to target dissident republican activity throughout the UK and Europe.
Around 200 officers, supported by military personnel, carried out searches in eight premises and arrested 10 people, one of which is being questioned in connection with the Omagh bombing in 1998.
Commenting on the operation, Detective Chief Superintendent Norman Baxter said: "This investigation has been ongoing for a number of months and has involved close liaison with colleagues in the Security Service and police services across Europe. The investigation has drawn on all branches of the Police Service of Northern Ireland's Crime Operations Department and officers from that department have travelled to Europe to progress the investigation. We believe that this operation has disrupted a potential major terrorist conspiracy."
