bomb squad A suspect device found at a DIY store on the outskirts of Newry has been declared an elaborate hoax.

The B&Q store on the Armagh Road was evacuated and Army technical officers cleared the area.

In August, a number of stores in the same retail park were targeted by firebombers. The Real IRA was blamed.

Meanwhile, a bomb alert in Dover Street, west Belfast, has been declared a hoax and residents have been allowed back into their homes.
