Four Released in Ireland Terror Case
By NEIL SHAH and VANESSA OCONNELL
SNIPPET: WATERFORD, Ireland Irish police said on Saturday evening they have released all three women who were among seven individuals arrested earlier this week in connection with an alleged plot to murder a Swedish cartoonist.
They were released and not charged, police said.
SNIPPET: The three remaining people in custody are males, and are being held in the Tramore and Waterford stations, a spokesman for the Irish police said. Police also confirmed for the first time Sunday morning that a U.S. citizen had been among those in custody.
The released individuals could still face charges down the road. A report for each of those arrested will be submitted to a director of public prosecutions, who can then decide whether the suspect should be re-arrested and charged. This process could take a matter of weeks, the spokesman said.
A release of Ms. Paulin-Ramirez raises the question of whether she will now be deported.
SNIPPET: The U.S. national, a woman, was believed to be in a relationship with one of the other males, an Algerian, this source had said.

U.S. Woman Released in Terror Case
By NEIL SHAH in Waterford, Ireland, VANESSA OCONNELL in New York and EVAN PEREZ in Washington
SNIPPET: U.S. officials are still investigating what role Ms. Paulin-Ramirez may have played in the purported plot against the cartoonist, according to people close to the situation.
Investigators are still looking into her Internet contacts to determine whether Ms. Paulin-Ramirez was an active participant in the alleged plot or just swept up in the probe by virtue of being in touch with others charged.
SNIPPET: The Justice Department said it wouldnt confirm her identity. There are no U.S. charges pending against her and her status in Ireland is unclear.
SNIPPET: The police have sought and been granted an extension on the three remaining males in custody, including an Algerian man, which means they can be held until Tuesday.
