Bomb found under former officer’s car
A booby trap bomb has been found under a former police officer’s car during a security alert in east Belfast.
He discovered the device as he was left his home in the Kingsway Park area of Tullycarnet to take his 12-year-old daughter to school on Friday morning.
Police said it was only down to the former officer’s vigilance they weren’t seriously hurt.
They said the device was quite similar to other devices used by dissident republicans and that this is one line of inquiry.
Police and army bomb squad officer’s remain at the scene of the discovery.
A number of homes have been evacuated.
There are no further details at the minute.
