Unionists claim Ballycastle 'bomb' could have been devastating

Hardline unionist Assembly member Ian Paisley Junior claimed the planting of the bomb in Ballycastle yesterday could have made the Omagh bomb ‘‘look like a small incident in the Troubles’’.

However, the Democratic Unionist MLA warned against casting doubt on one paramilitary group’s ceasefire when there were question marks about both the loyalist and republican ceasefires.
