The scene in Strabane following the bomb atack earlier this week

A 31-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the attempted murder of police officers in Strabane last week.

It follows an incident on Tuesday when a device exploded. It was a roadside bomb with a command wire attached.

The 31-year-old man was arrested in Strabane on Saturday but details of his arrest have only just been released.

Detectives from the PSNI’s Terrorist Investigation Unit have been given additional time to question a 20-year-old man.

He was arrested in Newtownstewart in connection with the bombing.

Both men are currently being held at the serious crime suite at Musgrave PSNI station in Belfast.

The PSNI said it was “incredibly lucky” that no-one was killed in the incident.

Parts of the town were cordoned off as a result of the security alert, and there was no access to the town via Liskey Road.

Forensic teams spent days examining the scene after a command wire to the device was found.
