Bomb Factory
A 19-year-old woman and her boyfriend have appeared in court
to face eight charges related to the manufacturing of explosives, the
possession of bomb-making parts and the possession of ammunition with intent to
endanger life.
Orla O Hanlon
Orla O'Hanlon (19) of Church Road, Forkhill, Co Armagh, and
her boyfriend Keith McConnan of Tievecrom Road, Forkhill, Co Armagh, appeared
at Newry Crown Court yesterday. Miss O'Hanlon pleaded not guilty to all
charges, and was released on continuing bail.
Mr McConnan faces the same charges but his arraignment has
been delayed because his legal representative was not in court.
He was remanded in custody to appear in court in Belfast
today.
The charges arise from a police search of the Tievecrom Road
property in December 2013 where both the accused had formerly resided.
The bomb parts they are accused of possessing include a
mobile phone-operated switch unit. Previous hearings have seen a heavy security
presence, but yesterday's brief appearance hearing was low-key, with no
uniformed police in court.
