Detectives in the North have arrested a man in his 40s today, following a house search in Keady in which police recovered and made safe an improvised explosion device.
The man, who was arrested on suspicion of attempting to make explosives in suspicious circumstances, was arrested in the Armagh area.
He is currently assisting police with their enquiries. Officers carried out a search at a property in the Tassagh Road area in support of an investigation by An Garda Síochána in Monaghan.
