Deadly bomb found by walker on Tyrone road
A bomb found by a walker in the North could have killed, police have said.
It was discovered on the rural Ballyheather Road near Strabane, Co Tyrone, last night.
Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) chief inspector Alan Hutton said: “This device could have caused death or serious injury to anyone close by if it had exploded.”
Army bomb disposal experts were called and the area searched.
Mr Hutton said: “We believe that the device had been in the area for some time and while we have not established a motive or identified the intended target, clearly there can be no justification for attempts to cause death or injury.”
