Pipe bombs were found today in the grounds of two Catholic schools in Northern Ireland.

Pupils were kept away from St Mary's High School in Limavady and St Patrick's College, Dungiven, both in Co Derry, because of the security alert.

Mass at a nearby Catholic church in Limavady was also cancelled.

Army bomb disposal experts were called in to examine the devices, which were later taken away for forensic examination.
