Three men have been arrested in the North by police investigating the attempted murder of a man in Co Antrim a fortnight ago.

Police said the men had been arrested in North Antrim today and were being questioned about recent terrorist crime in the Bushmills area of the county.

Police found the injured man in his home while making inquiries in the village about a burned-out car found crashed a short distance away.
