TWO Fermanagh men are due to appear in court today (Monday) on charges including the preparation of terrorist acts and possessing an explosive device. 

Emmet Maguire (43), from Station Road, and Rory Martin Logan (42), from Ross Close, both in Enniskillen, were arrested earlier this year following the discovery of an explosive device which was described as “designed to penetrate armoured vehicles". 

They are set to appear via video link at Enniskillen Magistrate's Court today (Monday). 

The two Fermanagh men are jointly charged with preparing for acts of terrorism by travelling to Cullies Cemetery in Co. Cavan on June 8, where they allegedly collected a radio-controlled explosively formed projectile which they transported to Dromad, Co. Louth.

It is further alleged they unlawfully and maliciously had in their possession or under their control certain explosive substances, namely, a radio-controlled explosively formed projectile, with intent by means thereof to endanger life or cause serious injury to property, and had them under suspicious circumstances.
