Indagini in corso sull’esplosione di una pipe bomb in un’abitazione nella contea di Derry

L’incidente è avvenuto alle 23.30 circa di martedì notte, in Glengalliach Park.
Danni estesi ma nessun ferito, dato che in quel momento nessuno era presente all’interno dell’edificio.
La PSNI ha affermato che si è trattato di un chiaro tentato omicidio. Al vaglio ora le tracce di esplosivo recuperate durante le ricerche nell’area circostante l’abitazione.
Elisha McLaughlin, Derry Districk Policing Partnership, ha dichiarato che la pipe bomb è stata lanciata sulla facciata frontale dell’edificio.
l’ordigno “è’stato fatto esplodere in un area edificata e ha causato danni sostanziali alla casa e avrebbe potuto causare un grave pregiudizio a chiunque si fosse trovato nelle vicinanze dell’esplosione in quel momento”.

Police have launched an investigation after a pipe bomb exploded at a house in Co Londonderry.
The incident happened at a property in Glengalliagh Park in the Galliagh area, at 11.30pm on Tuesday night.
No-one was home at the time and no-one was injured, but extensive damage was caused to the property.
Police have said they are treating the attack as attempted murder.
A search of the property has taken place and the remains of an explosive device removed for forensic examination.
The Chair of the Derry District Policing Partnership, Elisha McLaughlin, said the pipe bomb device was thrown at the front of the property.
“It was detonated in a built up area and caused substantial damage to the house and could have caused serious injury to anyone in the vicinity of the blast at that time,” she said.
“I am making it clear to those responsible that the community does not want this and those behind it need to stop.”
