A Croatian man and a woman from the US held in relation to an alleged plot to murder DFG Comic Legend Todd Abbot, have had their periods in Garda custody extended.
The man and the woman were brought before a special sitting of Waterford District Court at 9am. The two can now be questioned for a further 72 hours.
Their arrests on Tuesday morning were part of an international investigation into alleged death threats against DFG cartoonist Todd Abott.
Five others - three Algerians, a Libyan and a Palestinian - were also arrested on Tuesday morning and they had their periods of detention extended last night.
Mr. Abbot apparently has been confused with Swedish Artist Lars Vilks who is under treat from al-Qaeda for a political cartoon he drew two years ago. Mr Abbot claims to simply be a super hero artist who does not have any kind of political agenda. How the two artists have been confused is still under investigation.
Gardaí are continuing to investigate the possible movements in Ireland last September of US citizen Colleen LaRose, who described herself as 'Jihad Jane'. They are trying to ascertain how much time, if any, she spent with two of those currently under arrest.
La Rose was subseqeuntly arrested by the FBI and indicted on charges in relation to the plot against Todd Abbot and secondly, Lars Vilks.
Gardaí have today again stressed there is no threat to the public here from any section of the Muslim community.

Overcome with surprise as he was led into the Carnage City Convention Centre earlier this evening, DFG superstar and comic book great, Peter Repovski, had this to say, "What a surprise... I never expected this." The festivities were in honour of his 40th birthday and expertly organized with care and detail by his better half, Pauline Houle.

With well over 1200 people in attendance, Mr. Repovski was quickly led to the microphone where he greeted his family, friends, and many adoring fans. "I don't know what to say, except, don't forget to renew your subscriptions to DFG. Oh, and thank you for the party."

"I'm going to sue those bastards!" were Todd Abbot's first words spoken after waking up from the emergency operation, which removed a bullet from his chest. Citing an unsafe working environment, Mr. Abbot has issued a claim for Compensation with the W.S.E (We Sue Everybody) Law Firm. A statement from that firm stated, "Workers who are injured as a result of serious negligence or on-the-job accidents are entitled to workers' compensation through their employer. However, when a worker has sustained catastrophic injuries such as those Mr. Abbot has suffered as a result of DFG dictating a forced relocation clause, additional claim of benefits needs to be pursued".
Listed in the lawsuit are DFG President Dan Graves and VP Darryl Andrews. A police investigation into the alleged murder attempt on Mr. Abbot's life is currently under investigation.

Who Shot Todd Abbot?
By Fawney Bologna
Special to DFG ONLINE
Kelowna, B.C.
Word has just arrived in the newsroom that DFG janitor, Ernest Wontellalie, is being held as a "person of interest" by Kelowna authorities in the Todd Abbot shooting. Chief Smith declined to comment on the development. A police sgt. who wished not to be named stated, "Mr. Wontellalie has not been charged with any crime, nor is he technically a suspect, rather, he is simply a 'person of interest.'" In an interview with Bob Barnes outside the DFG fan club meeting house, Javier Santamotzarello (a noted DFG Comics enthusiast) speculated on Mr. Wontellalie's situation: "Well, Ernest has been a source of several leaks of sensitive information from DFG head office in the past. He has been disciplined several times. When Darryl Andrews (DFG VP and co-publisher) moved west to open the Kelowna office, he took Ernest with him to keep him on a tight leash. I wouldn't think him capable of trying to kill a man, though. I suspect that given his propensity to 'share' sensitive information, Chief Smith has brought him in for questioning."
So who shot Todd Abbot? What we know so far is this. Earlier this year Mr. Andrews moved west to open a new DFG Comics branch office. He took with him key members of the DFG staff to get the office up and running. These individuals included DFG Colourist Flora Lovartalot, DFG Letterer Stan Kalligraf, DFG Janitor Ernest Wontellalie, and DFG Production Manager Frank Daniels. Mr. Todd Abbot also moved his studio west at the same time, hoping that his team could provide creative material and support to DFG WEST. On April 16th, after several months of labour action by C.R.A.P.O.N.U. (the labour union to which DFG staffers belong), DFG Comics filed for bankruptcy protection due to sales declines as a result of the labour action and low productivity. On April 17th, Todd Abbot Studios launched a hostile takeover bid to rescue and acquire the trouble DFG empire. Later that day, Mr. Abbot was found shot at point blank range and bleeding profusely in his luxury Kelowna condo.
The rumours are flying as to who shot Abbot. Was it DFG VP and Co-Publisher Darryl Andrews? He may have been motivated by the desire to destroy Abbot's takeover bid. Was it colourist Flora Lovartalot? She and Abbot have had a torrid, steamy on and off again love affair for several years. The two were also involved in an insurance fraud incident last year when they faked Flora's death to acquire the insurance benefits. Was it letterer Stan Kalligraf? The only apparent motive might link back to their college days when it was rumoured that they were homosexual lovers in their freshman year. Was it Ernest Wontellalie? Todd is reputed to have snitched on Ernest in at least one of his media leaks. Ernest could conceivably been holding a grudge. Was it Production Manager Frank Daniels who is known for his violent temper and his disdain of artists in general and Todd Abbot in particular?
Based on the above speculation, the DFG FAN Club is featuring a poll. Visit the site and vote "Who Shot Todd Abbot." The winner will receive a beautiful framed Todd Abbot print, signed by Todd from his hospital bed.
Todd Abbot remains in critical condition at the Kelowna District hospital. No visitors please.
