Six detained in Ireland ahead of Prince Charles' arrival

Six people suspected of acts related to terrorism were arrested in Ireland and two bombs were found ahead of the visit of Britain's Prince Charles. Irish police said there was no evidence an attack was planned on Charles, who is due to visit the site where his grandfather, uncle Louis Mountbatten, was killed by the IRA in 1979. Police said yesterday they found and defused two explosive devices near Litrim, as well as other bomb-making equipment in 20 searches. Additional stocks of explosives were deactivated today. Six people are in custody for questioning because of the discovery of the weapon, according to the police.
