Two men held as gardaí foil pipe bomb attack in suburb
Two men allegedly involved in planting the device were being questioned last night by detectives. They are being questioned about the activities of the dissident republican group, the Continuity IRA.
The pair were picked up close to the scene after neighbours rang the gardaí and reported suspicious activity. Twelve homes at Belcamp Crescent, Clonshaugh, including that of the intended target, were evacuated as army bomb disposal experts were called in. In an operation lasting nearly three hours, a probe was sent in to check the device before it was disabled using a special water jet.
