Tue 09 Sep 2008Bomb squad defuses device at Shell HQ
A BOMB was left last night outside the offices of Shell Ireland in what the company has called a "sinister escalation" in the campaign against the Corrib Gas pipeline in Co Mayo. No group has claimed responsibility for the device.
The bomb, which was defused by the Army bomb disposal squad, was described by an Army spokesman as "viable, home-made, crude and highly-dangerous. It could have seriously injured or harmed somebody if somebody had handled it," the spokesman said.
