00:00Police in Northern Ireland say they suspect dissident Irish Republicans could be behind an overnight car bomb attack outside a
00:08police station near Belfast late on Saturday.
00:11The car bomb went off after what was termed a gas cylinder type device placed in a delivery driver's hijacked
00:19car and driven to the location.
00:22According to the police service, dissident Irish Republican paramilitary group, the new IRA, could be responsible.
00:28It is now the second attack of this nature in just a month. There are very many similarities between the
00:33two incidents and as a consequence of that, our early working hypothesis is that this may well be the work
00:39of the new IRA who claimed responsibility for the attack in Lurgan back on the 30th of March.
00:43Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attack and said, quote, those responsible will be brought to justice.
00:50The attack followed a similar attempted bombing on the 30th of March when the device failed to explode outside a
00:57police station in the nearby town of Lurgan.
