Irish police Sunday arrested 10 men while raiding a suspected training camp for a breakaway Irish Republican Army group that has been mounting sporadic attacks in neighboring Northern Ireland.

The men, suspected members of the Continuity IRA, were gathered inside the woods near Clonmel, County Tipperary, at a secluded site being used for firearms training, police said. Two rifles and two shotguns were seized at the site, police said.

Two dissident Irish Republican Army groups - the Continuity IRA and Real IRA - oppose the 1998 peace accord for Northern Ireland and have been trying to destabilize the British territory with occasional bombings and shootings.

Most of their attacks have been thwarted by police.
