The Ireland of Northern Police Service, said that the arrest came after a significant arms are in the area of Coalisland in east Tyrone Tuesday evening.
Among the weapons were four rifles, detonators, rocket launchers and explosives, including components that we think may be the plastic explosive Semtex. The weapons were in the cars stolen in a unit of Mountjoy Road, Coalisand garage.
Police said they have been "accelerated for forensic examination" and form a line of inquiry in the murder investigation. The arrested man was held at the outset on the discovery of weapons, but is now questioned about the murder of Catholic agent for 25 years.
The 26-year old suspect was arrested by police officers armed in the small town of Renton in Dunbartonshire, West of Glasgow, at noon on Wednesday in a joint operation between Strathclyde police and the Police Service of North Ireland.
He was taken to the police station of high security at Govan in Glasgow South and should be transferred to the Ireland of the North soon.
The leader of the Catholics of Ireland has launched an appeal at the funeral of police officer assassinated Wednesday to the dissenting Republicans to end their campaign of terror.
Far addressing at the funeral, Cardinal Seán Brady described the murder as "an act of evil, an offence against God."
Brady added that, since the murder, message from the community for the killers had been: "we do not want this." The name of God stop--and stop now. ?
Directly appealing to Republicans anti-ceasefire, he said: "choose life, I say." "Choose kindness, choose peace".
The funeral of officer Kerr, killed Saturday by a bomb trap left in his car, was a display of unity among the personalities from the worlds of politics, police services and sport.
The lament at the funeral of Beragh, County Tyrone, were the first and Deputy First Ministers, North Ireland Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and the Chief of police Ombudsman, Matt Baggott. Baggott was joined by his Irish counterpart of the South, the Commissioner of the Garda, Martin Callinan.
Police officers and members of the Gaelic Athletic Association club of Constable Kerr Beragh Red Knights formed a guard of honour and helped carry the coffin. Until 2001, controversial pursuant to rule 21 of the GAA, the members of the security forces in Ireland in North were prevented from playing Gaelic sports.
The Red Knights team wore their team jerseys to the sides of the PSNI uniform outside the church officers. Among the lament maintained by the Kerr family was Gaelic football coach Tyrone Mickey Harte, whose daughter Michaela was murdered this year on honeymoon in Mauritius.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but dissident Republicans was blamed. Although there were aversion generalized through the Ireland murder, it is unlikely in the short term that none of the three main Republican organizations still involved in violence will be to declare a ceasefire. Graffiti scrawled on a wall in the area of Bogside of Derry this week warned murder more if young Catholics continue to join the police force of the province.
