Roadside bomb attack foiled

A roadside bomb attack by dissident republicans is believed to been foiled by police and troops in Northern Ireland, RUC Chief Constable Sir Ronnie Flanagan confirmed today.

As detectives detained four men about loyalist paramilitary attacks in Coleraine, in Derry, an army explosives disposal team spent the fourth day attempting to defuse what is thought to be a major device five miles outside Armagh city.
