Army priest stabbed

A 16-year-old suspect has been arrested following a brutal stabbing attack on Father Paul Murphy, an army chaplain, outside Renmore Barracks in Galway. The incident occurred late on Thursday, with the assailant reportedly shouting about Irish military involvement in Mali during the attack. Father Murphy was injured when the teenager stabbed him through the car window as he attempted to escape, prompting guards to fire warning shots and restrain the attacker. The chaplain sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to University Hospital Galway. Ireland's security agency specializing in counter-terrorism is now involved in the investigation, suggesting a possible radicalization of the suspect. Authorities are preserving the crime scene for further examination as they continue to probe the motivations behind the attack.
