A judge rejects an attempt to throw out MI5 recordings which are central to the trial of three men accused of terrorism offences

A judge has rejected an attempt to throw out MI5 recordings which are central to the trial of three men accused of terrorism offences.Their lawyers questioned the authenticity of material and analysis provided by prosecution experts.

Belfast Crown Court has been told that 14 audio and video devices were used to secretly record alleged meetings involving the men following a dissident republican gun attack on police vehicles on the Crumlin Road in north Belfast in December 2013. Mr Fitzsimons, of Dunmore Mews, Belfast, and Mr McCrory, from Sliabh Dubh View, Belfast, deny attempting to murder police officers.

Mr Justice O'Hara said the authenticity of the recordings "cannot reasonably or sensibly be doubted".
