McGuinness and Robinson offices evacuated as suspicious object discovered

The offices of the North’s First and Deputy First Ministers have been evacuated because of a security alert.

A suspicious object was discovered at the Stormont Castle headquarters of Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness near Belfast, and the army was on the scene.

Two letter bombs were recently sent to the police, one in Derry and the other to the chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

Another was posted to the Public Prosecution Service in Derry.

Dissident republicans were blamed.
