'Wanted' militant homeless in Dublin

A Palestinian militant invited to Ireland last year as part of a deal brokered by the EU is living rough in Dublin.

Jihad Jara says he has been homeless for five months. Mr Jara, 31, is described by Israel as a senior terrorist and one of its "most wanted of wanted men". He is one of 13 Palestinians taken in by six European countries in a deal to end the protracted siege at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity. Three Palestinians exiled to Italy have been given new identities.

But Mr Jara, one of two Palestinians who went to Ireland, says he has had to sleep in parks or with friends because Dublin failed to keep its promise of accommodation. He now wants to leave.

Irish authorities said he would be allowed to move to another country on 22 May.
