BRITISH army bomb disposal experts will today carry out a detailed examination of suspicious objects found near Cullyhanna, in south Armagh, writes Gerry Moriarty in Belfast.

The security alert began on Thursday after a British army RUC joint patrol found oil cans and drums with wires leading from them in a derelict building outside the village which is close to the Border with Co Monaghan.

It is understood that the objects may have been in the building for some time.

A British army bomb squad will today determine if a bomb was being assembled in the building.
