Explosion at Newry courthouse
A car bomb has exploded outside a courthouse in Newry, Co Down.
Police were called to the courthouse after a car was left close to the gates of the building at around 10pm. They were in the process of evacuating the area when the explosion happened.
A police spokeswoman said that there were no initial reports of any injuries.
SDLP MLA for Newry and Armagh, Dominic Bradley has condemned those responsible for the attack.
“There is absolute disgust in Newry tonight, absolute revulsion that we have gone back to a situation that we had thought that we had left behind,” he told UTV.
“The message that people here in Newry are giving to those responsible is that they absolutely reject their activities, they want them to desist from this type of activity immediately.”
The DUP’s Newry and Armagh MLA William Irwin added: “Whilst initial conversations with the police indicate that no one has been injured, there is absolutely no doubt that the evil terrorists who planted this bomb had the intention of taking life.
“The swift actions of police in ensuring that the area was evacuated must be praised and once again serve of a reminder of threat which our police officers face daily.”
Republican dissidents opposed to the peace process will be the prime suspects for the attack.
It comes only days after a mortar bomb was abandoned outside a police station in the nearby Co Armagh village of Keady. That device failed to detonate.
Last March, dissidents gunned down two soldiers at Massereene army barracks, Antrim. Two days later they shot dead police constable Stephen Carroll in Craigavon, Co Armagh as he answered a call for help.
Meanwhile, in September police discovered a massive 600lb bomb in the south Armagh village of Forkhill.
Last month a Catholic police officer was seriously injured in car bomb attack in Co Antrim while a number of police stations have been shot at several times in recent weeks.
