La polizia ha ufficialmente comunicato l’arresto di 2 uomini nelle indagini sull’attentato che ha coinvolto e mutilato l’agente del Police Service of Northern Ireland, Peadar Heffron.
Un trentatreene di North Belfast ed un trentaquattrenne di West Belfast, sono attualmente posti sotto interrogatorio presso la stazione di polizia di Antrim.

Constable Peadar Heffron was driving to work earlier this month when a device, believed to have been planted by dissident republicans, went off under his car near Randalstown.
The 33-year-old had his right leg amputated as a result of the injuries sustained and has underwent a series of vital operations to save his life.
He was first rushed to Antrim Area Hospital on 8 January, before being moved to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.
A police spokeswoman said on Sunday that Mr Heffron had regained consciousness for the first time but remained in a “critical but stable” condition.
Mr Heffron is an Irish language specialist for the PSNI and captain of the PSNI GAA team.
Chief Constable Matt Baggott described the officer as a “hero”.
