Police vehicle target of dissident republican bomb attack

A SHADOWY dissident republican terror group has claimed it targeted a PSNI car with an improvised explosive device in Co Derry.

Using a recognised codeword, Arm na Poblachta claimed there is a device at the junction of Feeny Road and Killunaght Road, near Dungiven, which was aimed at a police car.

The PSNI last night said they were “conducting a number of enquiries into a report of suspicious activity in the vicinity of Feeny Road/Killunaught Road”.

They also appealed for members of the public “living in, or travelling through these areas, to be vigilant and not to touch anything suspicious”.

SDLP councillor Orla Beattie said people in Feeny “don’t want, need or deserve this”.

“They have been recklessly put at risk by people who don’t care about them or their families.

“I would urge everyone in the area to exercise caution and if you notice anything suspicious to inform the police urgently.”

Last year Arm na Poblachta claimed that a roadside device, which failed to detonate, had been left close to Ballyarnett Country Park in Derry.

The group claimed that several warnings had been delivered, including one to a local priest and politician.
