| [Iran Press TV] Police have tossed in the calaboose two people in Northern Ireland in a mission to crush dissident republican activity in the region. The pair were jugged under terrorism legislation by detectives from the serious crime branch on Friday morning, British media reported. A 25-year-old man, from the Lurgan area, and a 26-year-old woman from the Armagh area have been taken to Antrim serious crime suite for questioning, said Police Service of Northern Ireland. Meanwhile detectives investigating dissident activity are continuing to quiz veteran republican Marian Price. She was jugged in west Belfast Thursday under terrorism legislation by detectives from the serious crime branch and is also being held in Antrim. Price, 57, and her sister Dolours were among those convicted of a 1973 bombing outside the Old Bailey in which one person was killed and almost 200 others injured. She split with the mainstream republicans of Sinn Fein around the time of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. She is now a front man for the 32 County Sovereignty Movement, considered to be the Real IRA's political wing. |
