OP - your post reads like your telling a joke, so what's the punchline?

It's just Khalid Kelly doing his usual attention seeking.

Expected a Killbarrack related punchline / 10.

Garda Special Branch detectives were today questioning a 44-year-old Dublin man in connection with threats to kill US President Barack Obama during his visit here later in the month.

The suspect, Khalid Kelly, who is a converted Muslim, made the alleged remarks in a Sunday newspaper article.

Mr Kelly was arrested at his home, off Gardiner Street in Dublin's north inner city at 7am yesterday and taken to Store Street garda station for questioning. He can be held in custody for up to three days without charge.

Born Terry Kelly, from the Liberties area of Dublin, he converted to Islam while serving a jail sentence in Saudi Arabia for illegally distilling and selling alcohol.

From the Irish Independent.

I assume you heard it or you would not be starting a thread on it. Why don't you tell us the story.

That's all I heard was that some Irish guy was arrested for planning to kill Obama. All said information is in my opening post. I was just wondering whether it could be confirmed or not, that was my intention on opening the thread. Ok?

This was a disgrace. I hope he is brought to justice.
