Three men have been charged with terrorism offences including conspiracy to murder members of the security forces.
Two of the men have been charged over a gun attack on police vehicles in north Belfast earlier this month.
Police vehicles were hit with shots from an assault rifle on the Crumlin Road on the night of 5 December.
The three men, aged 46, 47 and 52, are to appear at Belfast Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
The two younger men are charged with aiding and abetting the attempted murder of police on Crumlin Road on 5 December and aiding and abetting the possession of firearms with intent to endanger life on the same date.
All three are charged with conspiracy to murder members of the security forces, conspiracy to possess explosives with intent to endanger life, possession of firearms with intent to endanger life and membership of a proscribed organisation.
The men were arrested in Belfast and Lurgan on Sunday.
