Two of the 13 Palestinian militants exiled by Israel after the siege at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem are expected to arrive in Ireland tomorrow.
Twelve of the 13 militants involved in the siege will leave Cyprus tomorrow bound for the six EU countries that have agreed to take them. One of them is to remain in Cyprus.
The identities of those coming to Ireland is not yet known. The Government has agreed to accommodate the two men for up to 12 months. Spain, Italy, Greece, Belgium and Portugal have also agreed to take Palestinians.
