Police in Ireland have arrested a Muslim convert after he apparently made death threats against US President Barack Obama.
The US President is due to visit Ireland later this month
Khalid Kelly - who is also known as 'Taliban Terry' because of his pre-conversion name - was arrested at his Dublin home on Thursday.
The 44-year-old was quoted as telling a British newspaper he expected al Qaeda to kill Mr Obama during a visit to Ireland on May 23.
He could be held for up to three days before being charged or released.
Kelly's arrest came four days after an interview with him appeared in the Sunday Mirror.
"Personally I would feel happy if Obama was killed," he was quoted as saying.
