Israel "Arrested the Irish Man We Looked For"
(Jerusalem Post) - Margot Dudkevitch Israeli security sources said Sean O Muireagain (John Morgan), the Irish national arrested outside of Ramallah on Saturday who is currently being questioned by the Shin Bet, is the man they were looking for and denied claims that his arrest was a case of mistaken identity. "There are two John Morgans, both are linked to the IRA, one ideologically and the other actively. We arrested the person we were looking for," one security official said. The official noted that Morgan entered Israel with an Irish passport, and not a British one as previously claimed. The English newspaper Observer claimed Israel had launched a manhunt for Morgan, who they described as an IRA bomb expert. The newspaper claimed that British intelligence had tipped off Israeli officials. Israeli security officials noted that no information had been released by them other than his name and confirmation that he had been arrested. "All the other claims came from foreign press reports," officials said.
