Fears bomb linked to gang feud

GARDAÍ are investigating if a viable bomb found outside a home in Crumlin is linked to a deadly gang feud in south-west Dublin.

The Crumlin-Drimnagh feud has been quiet for many months, but there are fears that if this bomb is linked to the hostilities, it could spark a renewal in a feud that has claimed 13 lives in the last 10 years.

Gardaí were alerted to the device outside a house on Lismore Road early yesterday. An army bomb disposal team removed a “viable improvised explosive device” at 2am. The scene was declared safe at 2.50am.
