A Maze escaper has been arrested at a border patrol in the United States, American officials have said.
He was arrested by officers at a border checkpoint in southern Texas on Monday night.
The US Border Patrol have refused to identify him, but said he was awaiting deportation.
It said he had been serving a 23-year prison sentence in Northern Ireland on charges of possessing a bomb and a firearm.
The man produced an out-of-date immigration document at the Sarita checkpoint near Brownsville.
The man was identified through fingerprinting after a search of his background through the Joint Terrorism Task Force and Interpol.
"The subject was arrested and is pending deportation proceedings back to his country of origin," said the US Border Patrol.
