Gerry Adams arrested in NY
Gerry Adams was arrested in NY yesterday after being found to be on the terrorist watchlist (what a surprise). Then all went quiet. Anyone seen anything?

Last night's incident happened because Mr Adams' name was on a terror watch list.
Today the pair opted for a six-hour train journey from the US capital to Boston instead of the hour-and-a-half long flight.
