Irish police release three held over cartoonist 'death plot'
2010-03-13
Three of seven Muslims detained over a suspected plot to assassinate a Swedish cartoonist have been released from custody.

Gardaí last night confirmed a man and two women were freed after three and a half days of questioning. A file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions, they said.

Three men and one woman remain in garda custody in the south east of the country over an alleged international conspiracy to murder Lars Vilks, who controversially depicted the Prophet Mohammed with the body of a dog.

#2  Irish law allows suspects to be held without charges for 7 days. The one woman is an American from Colorado, who also had contact with La Rose, of Philadelphia. Mobley also attended a mosque in Philadelphia and all had computers seized. Law enforcement knew about this for awhile, and La Rose picked up last October so they could continue the investigation. I hope they continue to connect the dots, as they are beginning to look like the world wide web. From the WSJ:

Ms. Paulin-Ramirez is the second American woman to be linked to an alleged plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist who made fun of the Prophet Mohammed. An indictment was unsealed this week against Colleen R. LaRose, 46, a suburban Philadelphia woman who authorities said used the Web alias "JihadJane."

Ms. LaRose was accused of plotting to kill the cartoonist and attempting to recruit jihadis via the Internet.

She was arrested in October and later charged with providing material support to terrorists.

The Justice Department kept its case under wraps until this week while investigators in the U.S. and Europe pursued their investigation against other potential suspects in the U.S. and abroad.

The main contact for Ms. LaRose is believed to be one of the men in Irish custody, an Algerian, who has a relationship with Ms. Paulin-Ramirez, according to a person close to matter.

A person close to the Irish police couldn't confirm whether Ms. Paulin-Ramirez and the Algerian are married.

Ms. LaRose spent roughly two weeks in Ireland last fall, a person familiar with the matter said.

The Irish police are holding four men and three women, including three Algerians, a Croatian, a Palestinian, a Libyan and a U.S. national, according to a person close to the police.
They are being questioned and haven't been charged.
