JI suspects held in Ireland

From ABS-CBN/Today (Manila): (See also this BBC link.)
A Filipino Muslim couple -- whose names have not been released -- were arrested in Northern Ireland on suspicion of being a conduit of funds for the Jema’ah Islamiyah network in Ireland.

The Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed Wednesday the arrest Friday of a Filipino nurse working there and her husband. They are Muslim converts.

The department said the nurse was released Wednesday and cleared of terrorist charges.

But her husband was detained for interrogation. Irish police said the husband’s presence and activities in Northern Ireland were “quite suspicious” because he was unemployed but had reportedly huge amounts of money.
