DETECTIVES from the PSNI’s Terrorist Investigation Unit probing dissident republican activity in Derry have made two arrests.
The men were detained under Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
The men – aged 22 and 29 – were arrested in the Claudy and Shantallow areas in connection with a pipe bomb attack in the Earhart Park area of the city in January this year.
The suspects have been taken to Musgrave Serious Crime Suite for questioning.
The viable device was in January following a security operation.
British Army Technical Officers were called to the scene at the time to make the pipe bomb device safe.
