The scene in Strabane following the bomb attack last month

DETECTIVES investigating a bomb blast targeting PSNI officers on patrol in Strabane last month have arrested two men this morning.

Following the March 21 attack in the Townsend Street area, police said it was “incredibly lucky” that no one was killed.

Dissident republicans fired the device using a command wire from a vantage point overlooking the road.

Officers searched two premises in Strabane as part of the operation that resulted in the arrest on a 46-year-old man from Omagh and a man aged 48 from Strabane.

Both were being questioned at Musgrave Serious Crime Suite in Belfast today.

A number of other men had been arrested in the wake of the murder bid but were released unconditionally.
