Police in North seize material for major bomb

POLICE in the North believe they foiled a major bomb attack yesterday when they seized almost 115kg of homemade explosives.

Four men were questioned about the suspected dissident republican plot in Lurgan, Co Armagh, amid warnings from a senior officer that a strike which would have caused carnage was imminent.

The men were arrested during raids on a breaker's yard, where construction of the bomb was at an advanced stage. A car was also taken away for forensic examination.
