INLA suspected in car bomb hoax

A father of a nine-year-old daughter and 14-year-old son and the Sunday World's crime editor, Mr Williams and his family were evacuated from their home along with about 130 neighbours in the south Dublin suburb of Walkinstown following the discovery of the device in the early hours of yesterday morning.

The device had most of the components of a bomb wires, batteries, putty and a circuit board but there were no explosives. Gardaí say people skilled at manufacturing explosives were behind the hoax.
