Man arrested in connection with dissident activity
One man has been arrested in connection with dissident activity in the Northwest of the province.
He was arrested in Belfast under the terms of the Terrorism Act yesterday afternoon, and is currently being held for questioning by detectives at the Serious Crime Unit in Antrim.
A PSNI spokesperson has confirmed that this arrest is not related to Monday's police operation against dissident republican activity, which resulted in ten people being arrested - one of whom was questioned in connection with the 1998 Omagh bombing in which 29 people were killed.
A handgun, explosive material and bomb making materials were recovered during the searches, which were carried out in around eight premises in Counties Armagh and Fermanagh.
Three men and a woman who were arrested have since been released without charge.
