A suspected jihadist was arrested at Dublin Airport earlier today.

According to reports, the French-Algerian national was questioned at the airport this morning after disembarking from an international flight.

It is thought the man travelled to Dublin using a false French passport.

The Sunday World has reported that the man is being held at Ballymun Garda Station where Gardaí are questioning him about the false passport.

It is believed that the man was under investigation from international agencies who alerted Gardaí to his arrival in Ireland.
