Bomb Scares

There has been another pipe bomb attack in the North.

Shortly before midnight last night, a device was thrown into the waiting area of a taxi company in North Belfast. No one was injured in the incident and only minor damage was caused.

Elsewhere, there have been two elaborate bomb hoaxes in the city.

There was a scare raised when a gas cylinder with wires attached was found on the Shore Road.

Explosive experts were also called out to a hijacked van that was found abandoned on the Shankill Parade. Inside it, a similar gas cylinder was found.
