I dissidenti repubblicani sono considerati i responsabili di un attacco incindiario contro un veicolo di proprietà di un poliziotto, a Enniskillen

L’auto di un agente della PSNI, guidata soprattutto dalla moglie, è stato incendiata davanti all’abitazione della coppia nell’area prevalentemente nazionalista di Cornagrade a Enniskillen (contea del Fermanagh).
L’attacco avvenuto nella prime ore di oggi, segue gli attentati con i quali i dissidenti hanno dato il loro ‘benevenuto’ alla devolution, ufficialmente in vigore dal 12 aprile.
“Fortunatamente l’uomo, sua moglie, e i loro due bambini sono usciti di casa dopo aver sentito l’odore di bruciato proveniente dal veicolo, così fortunatamente nessuno è rimasto ferito”, ha dichiarato il rappresentante politico locale del SDLP, Tommy Gallagher.

Dissidents blamed after policeman’s car torched (U TV)
Dissident republican elements have been blamed for setting fire to a policeman’s car in Enniskillen.
The vehicle, understood to be used primarily by the officer’s wife, was torched outside the couple’s home in the predominantly nationalist Cornagrade estate in the town.
The early morning arson incident, which destroyed the car, comes in the same week dissidents opposed to the peace process launched two car bomb attacks in Northern Ireland.
“Fortunately the man his wife and their two children got out of the house when they smelled the smoke from the car outside so luckily no- one was hurt,” said local MLA Tommy Gallagher.
“This is somebody who works for the community and is living in the community and has the support of the community.”
“The individuals who carried this out are despised by members of the community,” he added.
On Monday a bomb in a hijacked taxi exploded outside the MI5 headquarters at Palace Barracks in Holywood, Co Down. No one was seriously injured.
The next day Army bomb disposal officers managed to defuse another car bomb abandoned outside a police station in Newtownhamilton in south Armagh.
It is suspected the upsurge in violence was symbolically timed to coincide with the transfer of policing and justice powers from London to Stormont on Monday.
