Tyrone bomb factory find ‘foils attack plans’

FRESH dissident Republican attacks on policing representatives may have been foiled by a raid on a bomb-making factory in the North, chief constable Hugh Orde said yesterday.

As four men were questioned about the incendiary devices seized from a flat in Co Tyrone, Mr Orde insisted the operation had dealt the dissidents a major blow.

Component parts for six bombs were recovered in searches in Lisnafin Park, Strabane on Wednesday night.
