Police investigating the shooting of a senior detective in Northern Ireland last month have made another arrest.

A 47-year-old man has been detained after the search of a house in Coalisland, Co Tyrone.

A 60-year-old man was arrested under the Terrorism Act earlier on Thursday following the search of a house in Belfast, but has now been released following questioning.

The 47-year-old man remains in custody.

Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell is recovering after being shot several times while off duty at a sports complex in Omagh, Co Tyrone, in February.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland have made several other arrests during their investigation into the attempted murder.
