The Real IRA claimed responsibility for a bomb attack in Londonderry on Tuesday.
Two police officers were injured as they evacuated people away from a car bomb which exploded outside a bank in the city.
The device, placed in a green Vauxhall Corsa car, went off shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning at the front of the Da Vinci’s Hotel, close to the Ulster Bank on the Culmore Road.
Two months ago, a 200lb car bomb exploded outside a police station half a mile away in the city’s Strand Road. At the time, a group claiming to be from Óglaigh na hÉireann said they carried out the attack.
