Israel arrests Irish 'bomb expert'
Security sources told Reuters news agency the 40-year old man is currently being interrogated to discover the extent of the network he had developed among Palestinian militants.

Palestinian links with Northern Ireland stretch back to the early days of the three decade conflict between Catholic republicans fighting to end British rule and Protestant loyalists committed to maintaining it.

Within Israel's security services, it is believed a West Bank sniper who killed 10 Israeli soldiers and settlers in March 2002 may have been an IRA-linked mercenary.

In hardline Catholic districts of Belfast it is common to see pro-Palestinian slogans painted on walls, while in staunchly Protestant areas Israeli flags are sometimes flown alongside British flags and loyalist paramilitary banners.

なんでカトリックのIRAが…と思ったけど、
どうも、IRAとパレスチナ系組織のつながりは
昔からの事らしい。
その一方で、北アイルランドのプロテスタントは
イスラエルシンパとのこと。

テロ組織は「文明の衝突」を、軽々と越えてしまうらしい（笑）。
