Gardai have arrested two men suspected of fundraising for Isis.

Officers from the anti-terror unit detained an Algerian and a Moroccan, aged in their 30s and 40s, in north and south Co Dublin.

RTE crime correspondent Paul Reynolds said: “The arrests were made as part of a co-ordinated international investigation into people suspected of offering logistical support to Islamic terrorism.

“Two men were arrested in Swords and in Stepaside in Co Dublin today.

“They’ve been living here for some time. Laptops and documentation were seized as potential evidence in relation to breaches of the terrorism offences act.

“The counter-terrorism unit are investigating financial transactions through various accounts which they suspect may have been used to fund terrorist activity abroad.

“They’re working closely with other European and intelligence services and it’s believed some of the information which led to today’s arrests came from abroad.”

The raid is the second time Gardai have thwarted suspected activity in relation to the group, following the arrest of two people in their 20s at a property in Waterford last month.
