Fermanagh road closed due to security alert

A road in Co Fermanagh has been closed today following a claim by dissident republicans that bombs have been left in the area.

The main road between Newtownbutler and Clones in Co Monaghan is set to remain shut while police carry out a security operation.

On Sunday, dissident republicans called a Belfast radio station to warn that two bombs had been abandoned on the roadside in the Wattlebridge area.

Motorists are being advised to seek an alternative route.
