DUP deputy leader’s daughter opens parcel bomb sent to office
A parcel believed to be packed with explosives and ball-bearings was opened by his daughter as she dealt with mail. It failed to detonate.
A second parcel-type device was also delivered to the headquarters of the Northern Ireland Policing Board. It is believed to have been addressed to Alex Attwood, one of the nationalist SDLP representatives on the body and was described as primitive by security sources.
