One held on German terror warrant Ex-MP's daughter held over attack
(about 1 hour later)
A 35-year-old woman has been arrested in Coalisland on a European Arrest Warrant, the Police Service of Northern Ireland has said. The daughter of a former MP has been arrested and faces extradition proceedings over an IRA bomb attack on a British Army base in Germany.
It is understood she is wanted for terrorist offences allegedly committed in Germany. Roisin McAliskey, 35, was detained in Coalisland, County Tyrone, on a European arrest warrant.
German authorities want to charge her over an IRA mortar bomb attack on an Army barracks at Osnabruck in 1996.
Ms McAliskey, the daughter of former Mid-Ulster MP Bernadette McAliskey, faced a similar action in 1998.
The then-Home Secretary Jack Straw decided at the time that she was too ill to beextradited.
She was pregnant at the time and was held in a special unit in Holloway prison.
At the time, the German attorney general said Ms McAliskey was still regarded as a suspect and called on the British government to take over the prosecution.
But two years later the Crown Prosecution Service said there was not enough evidence for her to face trial in the United Kingdom.
Police officers including detectives from the Extradition and InternationalMutual Assistance Unit were involved in the operation to arrest her on Monday.
She will appear at Belfast Recorders Court for extradition proceedings.She will appear at Belfast Recorders Court for extradition proceedings.
"Following a request from the German authorities police have arrested a 35-year-old woman," a PSNI spokesman said.
