PSNI Condemns Discovery Of Bombs Near Army Reserve Base
Two partially-exploded bombs have been found close to an Army Reserve base in Northern Ireland.
The improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were left in two duffle-type bags placed near the fence of the facility in a residential area of Londonderry.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said an examination of CCTV footage indicated that the bombs left in Rockport Park "partially initiated" overnight but "failed to fully explode".
The IEDs have now been made safe by Army Technical Officers (ATO). No bomb warning was made.
PSNI chief inspector Tony Callaghan described the incident as a "truly reckless act which endangered local people's lives".
"These devices had the capacity to kill or maim," he said.
