A follow-up search was continuing yesterday afternoon after police defused an explosive device left outside a GAA club in Dungannon, Co Tyrone, Monika Unsworth writes from Belfast.
The alarm was raised yesterday morning when a member of the public found what looked like a gas cylinder with wires attached outside the building's front door on the Lisnahall Road. British army bomb disposal experts were called in but did not carry out a controlled explosion as they were keen to preserve the device for forensic examination.
A senior RUC officer said the incident bore all the hallmarks of a dissident loyalist attack.
