A 27-year-old man has appeared before a special sitting of Belfast Magistrates Court today charged with possession of explosives and intent to endanger life.
Carl Reilly, 27, from Albert Street, Belfast, was also charged with conspiracy to commit an explosion, and membership of the Real IRA.
The charges are understood to relate to an incident at Upper Queen Street in Belfast in November 2002.
A large incendiary device was found in a car parked near the motor tax office.
