A roadside bomb thought to have been planted by dissident republicans in Co Fermanagh was defused last night, four days after it was discovered.
The device was found at Wattlebridge near Newtownbutler on Saturday after two separate bomb warnings.
Police said tonight a viable device with the potential to kill or maim had been dismantled by the British army and taken away for forensic examination.
It was the latest in a series of bombs aimed at killing the security forces.
Police Service of Northern Ireland chief constable Sir Hugh Orde has been warning for months that dissidents were trying to kill his officers.
