An FBI team has reportedly found documents in Dublin linking Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged with the September 11th attacks, to an al-Qaeda cell in Ireland.

US investigators told Fox News there is mounting evidence of an al-Qaeda presence in Ireland that has gone largely unmentioned.

US government sources said a lengthy investigation involving Irish, British, and US agents has been under way at a mosque outside Dublin. Sources also said documents were found in a flat in Donnybrook.

Dozens of people in Dublin and surrounding areas are under investigation for providing false travel documents and cash to members of al-Qaeda, Fox News said.
