6.01 News: Mary Calpin reports on the tight security around the two men's arrival at Dublin airport today
The two men were met at Dublin Airport by armed detectives upon their arrival from Madrid. They were driven away from the airport immediately.
The two are believed to be Jihad Jaara and Rami al-Kamel from Bethlehem. Both are believed to be members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which is an offshoot of Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction. One of the men is said to be a senior member of the group.
Gardaí have refused to say where they were taken. It is understood that they will initially be accommodated in a safe house with Garda protection.
