A former Royal Marine from County Antrim who made bombs for dissident republicans has been sentenced to 18 years in prison.

Ciarán Maxwell, from Larne, admitted a series of terror charges ahead of a pre-sentence hearing that began last Wednesday.

After his arrest last year, police found 43 weapons hides...

...The court was told that four of the pipe bombs he made were used in attacks in Northern Ireland.

Other weapons found in the hides included anti-personnel mines, mortars, ammunition and bomb-making materials.

I'm surprised it's only 18 years to be honest.
