Antrim supermarket bomb fuels fears of new campaign
29/12/2004 - 19:41:12An incendiary bomb was discovered in a supermarket in Northern Ireland tonight, fuelling fears of a fresh bombing campaign.
The device was defused by army experts in the Sainsbury supermarket at Sprucefield outside Lisburn, in County Antrim.
In the run-up to Christmas, the neighbouring B&Q DIY store was extensively damaged by fire when a device went off.
It was one of a number of such devices planted in stores across the province, several of which went off causing major damage.
Dissident republicans were the main suspects, although no claims of responsibility were made.
The PSNI tonight issued an urgent appeal to retailers in Lisburn to carefully search their premises and report anything suspicious.
