Gardaí in Ireland have arrested seven people, originally from Morocco and Yemen, but all legal residents in Ireland, for plotting a murder abroad. Irish media are identifying the target abroad as Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who drew a cartoon of Mohammed that outraged Islamists when it appeared in the Danish press. Three women and four men were arrested in Cork and Waterford. Police say they were working with police services and intelligence groups in other countries.
