Car explosion outside police station ‘may be work of New IRA’ – PSNI

A car which exploded outside a police station on the outskirts of Belfast had been “hijacked” and the New IRA is believed to be responsible, police have said.

PSNI Deputy Chief Constable Bobby Singleton said the car was hijacked shortly after 10.50pm on Saturday in the Twinbrook area of west Belfast and a gas cylinder device was placed in the boot.

Mr Singleton said the male delivery driver was ordered to drive the car to Dunmurry police station and abandon it outside, causing police to activate the station’s attack alarm.
