Bomb Alert Hits Fermanagh
There's a fresh security alert along the Irish border today.
The police have said that a rural road in Fermanagh has been closed off as an abandoned bomb is sought.
The B36 between Rosslea and Dresternan will be closed to traffic during the day as they carry out the security operation.
They said that diversions are in place as the operation - which centres on the Lisnaskea Road - continues.
The PSNI said the security operation came about after officers were made aware of various claims made in recent weeks and months about explosive devices left or abandoned in the area.
Some 12 families have been moved from their homes following the warnings about abandoned bombs.
Houses in the Lisnaskea Road area of Roslea were evacuated early on Wednesday morning.
The discovery of a 600lb bomb in south Armagh last week underlined the need for "a careful and controlled response," police said.
They said a search was necessary because of "a small number of criminals who appear intent on disrupting the lives of businesses and residents of the area".
