North Hit By Seaside Bomb Outrage
An undercar booby trap bomb has been found in the driveway of a soldier's home in Bangor, Co Down this morning.
The device fell off the vehicle on Wednesday morning and was found by the officer and between 20 and 30 houses in the Chatworth area of the town were evacuated.
NI Policing Board Acting Chair Brian Rea has condemned the attempt to kill the Army Major: "Those who planted the bomb this morning could have killed or injured anyone and I strongly condemn them for it.
"There is no room for this type of attack in a society that overwhelmingly wants to work together to deliver peace and stability. Anyone with information should bring it to the attention of the police."
Last night, Army technical officers also carried out a controlled explosion on a suspicious vehicle abandoned in the Co Antrim costal village of Cushendall.
A number of houses were evacuated on Tuesday while the car left at Moyle View was examined, but a police spokesperson said nothing had been found.
