Irish terrorists in Hezbollah weapons sting met with Iranian embassy officials
Members of an Irish group arrested on terrorist charges after seeking arms from Hezbollah met with officials at Iran's Dublin Embassy, security sources have told The National.
It can also be disclosed that the former members of the Provisional IRA have reactivated Hezbollah contacts to get finance and weapons for the New IRA terror group (NIRA).
The Irish terrorists have been seeking advanced bomb-making technology developed in Iran and Lebanon that would allow them to successfully penetrate police armoured vehicles in Northern Ireland, intelligence sources said.
Nine members of the NIRA, including three women, were arrested last week following a long-running undercover operation run by MI5, the British security service.
