Northern Irish police arrested three men in relation to the attempted murder of a senior detective shot in front of his son in the town of Omagh that they suspect was carried out by the New IRA Irish nationalist militant group
The three men aged 38, 45 and 47 arrested under the Terrorism Act are currently being questioned by detectives.
It is a much smaller group than the Irish Republican Army, which disarmed when the Good Friday accord ended the fighting between nationalist militants seeking unity with Ireland, and pro-British unionists wanting to stay in the United Kingdom. The threat from domestic groups was reduced to "substantial" from "severe", meaning an attack is still likely, according to an independent assessment by the MI5 domestic spy service. McEwan said the police continue to review the threat level.
"Society has moved on in Northern Ireland," Britain's Northern Ireland Minister Chris Heaton-Harris added. "There is no place for violence like this."
