Two in questioning over bomb find

Police put the contents of the bomb on display

Detectives are continuing to question a man and woman about the discovery of a 130lb bomb in County Tyrone on Tuesday.

The security forces have linked the primed device, found in Sixmilecross, to dissident republican paramilitaries.

Another man and woman who were arrested in follow-up searches were released.

The police said a report has been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Home-made explosives

The bomb containing home-made explosives in a creamery can, was defused on Wednesday morning.

It was discovered in a stone shed connected to a house in Glenaness Road near Sixmilecross at about 2000 BST on Tuesday.

The shed had been used as a workshop with drilling and light engineering equipment.

The security forces also found what they believed to be more terrorist equipment near Sixmilecross during their follow-up searches in Tyrone and Fermanagh.

Dissident republicans opposed to the Northern Ireland peace process and Good Friday Agreement have been responsible for a number of attacks in Northern Ireland and in Britain recently.
