A 28-YEAR-OLD man has been charged in an investigation into the attempted murder of two police officers in Belfast on 28 May.
The man was arrested in Shrewsbury, England, on Saturday and today charged with conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to cause an explosion and preparing for an act of terrorism.
He is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court today and the charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.
