A car bomb intercepted near the Northern Ireland border has sparked a major security alert, leading to arrests of two individuals linked to a suspected new IRA operation. Simon ODonovan, 44, a museum employee, was charged with explosives possession and denied bail. Alongside him, 25-year-old trainee barrister Isobella Perrie Sullivan, who allegedly drove the vehicle, also faces charges — though her legal team argues she was unaware of the Semtex and detonator in the bag she was asked to transport. While Sullivan was granted bail, she remains in custody. Authorities describe the device as highly sophisticated and potentially devastating — one of the most significant seizures since the Troubles. Sullivan’s lawyer noted her past ties to a political group and time in Syria, but stressed she has since distanced herself from such activities, with her family believing she may have been manipulated.
