The defendant remains in custody on charges of preparation of terrorist acts, hijacking and placing an article causing a bomb hoax
A Belfast businessman is to stand trial for alleged involvement in a terrorist bomb hoax targeting Irish Minister Simon Coveney, a judge ordered on Thursday.
Mr Coveney, the Irish Foreign Affairs Minister at the time, was attending the Houben Centre to give a speech but had to evacuate the venue due to the fake bomb alert. Service, who owns three gym businesses, appeared remotely at Belfast Magistrates’ Court today for a preliminary enquiry into the strength of the allegations.
