The Irishman arrested in Ramallah on Saturday turns out not to have been the missing Real IRA bomb-maker, after all. He was, instead, an Irish journalist and "peace activist." Some questions are now being raised as to whether this whole story wasn't just another intelligence mistake.
LONDON - British intelligence is rechecking the truth of information recently sent to Israel about a Northern Irish bomb expert suspected to be in the West Bank and helping Palestinian terror cells.
The John Morgan arrested on Saturday near Ramallah turned out to be a journalist and pro-Palestinian peace activist, not a member of the Real IRA.
Irish sources told Haaretz the British security services had no up-to-date picture of the suspected terrorist, so they identified him only by name, and John Morgan is a common name.
"British intelligence" seems to be mucking it up quite badly these days, eh?
