The swiftness of these searches so soon after the attack will ensure the culprits will not have had time to clean up.

Informative.
Did he cyanide himself or what?
Can someone post up the article from the indo.
From his past:
Tractor thefts have fallen by 50pc as a result of a big garda operation that put an international gang out of business.
The operation, which spanned 11 jurisdictions, led to the recovery of €7m of stolen machinery.
The ringleader of the gang, Cyril McGuinness, is now locked up in Belgium, serving a seven-year sentence for his part in the theft of tractors and trailers units.
McGuinness (45), of Derrylin, Co Fermanagh, was detained by gardai on an European arrest warrant and his extradition to Belgium was then ordered by the High Court. He had been a key target of the garda stolen vehicles unit for the past seven years.
McGuinness is serving his sentence in a maximum security jail.
Four years ago McGuinness was convicted of 44 charges in relation to the illegal dumping of 28,000 tonnes of waste from the Republic in Northern Ireland and Scotland. The court heard that he was involved in one of the North’s biggest crime gangs, which had made €2.6m in 20 months from the waste smuggling.
McGuinness trusted his associate, Damien McPhillips, from Clones, Co Monaghan, with the task of travelling around Europe to locate suitable vehicles.
McPhillips was extradited to Belgium after he was served with an European arrest warrant while on holiday in Spain. He was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment along with a British accomplice, Bob Peachey, who was arrested in Germany.
On reflection I withdraw this remark. News of his death should be put in the things that are wrong thread. His death was too quick and painless.
Been a bad few weeks for Border Truckers
That was convenient.
