Det Insp Gavin Ross of the Garda Special Detective Unit (SDU) said an investigation is ongoing, with lines of inquiry still open. Khan, with an address in Dublin that cannot be published due to a court order, previously pleaded guilty to eight charges. Khan was further charged with two counts of engaging in terrorist activity or terrorist-linked activity on the dates of each offence. He said he wanted McGregor to know that he was “playing dangerous games”. When he attacked Lynch, he said he did not expect the garda to die, but he wanted to “injure him to make the point”.
