Explosives experts checking if pipe bombs came from same source

ARMY and garda forensic experts will examine in the coming days if two pipe bombs which exploded in recent days came from the same source.

Security sources said that while the pipe bomb used yesterday morning was not as sophisticated as the one that exploded on Wednesday, they could have been made by the same person.

Gardaí are concerned that dissident paramilitaries are supplying pipe bombs to criminals and even to people involved in personal feuds.
