Information is slowly coming out about the BBC journalists arrested in Northern Ireland. This is an interesting story for any journalist, I've flagged it as news wanted and am seeking images of the journalists.

Four BBC journalists were arrested at the weekend by Irish police monitoring the Real IRA, the dissident group responsible for intermittent violence in Northern Ireland.

The four were among 11 men arrested and held for questioning by Gardai in three separate police stations in the border county of Donegal.

It is believed the journalists were working for the BBC's Panorama and BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight investigative programmes. Seven of the arrests were made on Saturday and a further four yesterday.

I think this is an important story and would benefit from other NowPublic contributors working on it. I've flagged it as News Wanted and invite others in relevant locations to look for more evidence.
