Police were reportedly targeted by an explosive device.
A chilling terrorist act shook the United Kingdom today, as a car bomb attack in Northern Ireland bring back memories of the darkest days of the ‘Troubles’.
During the 1970s, the civil rights movement by the Catholic minority against discrimination devolved into open conflict between Irish republican paramilitaries, pro-UK Ulster paramilitaries, and the British Army.
Bombings, shootings, revenge murders in both Northern Ireland and mainland Britain became the norm, and by the end of the decade, thousands had been killed.
In today’s incident, a car bomb exploded outside a Northern Ireland police station in what law enforcement is calling an attempt to kill officers.

The Telegraph reported:
“A gas cylinder was detonated in the boot of a delivery vehicle after it was hijacked late on Saturday, according to police. Two babies were among residents evacuated when the bomb exploded outside the police station in Dunmurry, on the outskirts of Belfast. No injuries have been reported.
Brendan Mullan, chairman of the Northern Ireland policing board, said: ‘This explosive device was sent to kill officers and cause maximum harm in an attack which was in the heart of a residential area’.”

Northern Ireland’s terrorism investigation unit think that the blast may have been ‘the work of the New IRA’.
Northern Ireland Secretary, Hilary Benn:
I am appalled by what happened last night in Dunmurry. This was a shameless and cowardly attack on the brave men and women who work so hard to keep our communities safe in Northern Ireland. I urge anyone with information about who was responsible to contact the PSNI.

“The incident happened before a decisive vote on Labour’s new Northern Ireland Bill on Monday, which will scrap immunity from prosecution for Troubles veterans.
The Government has said it would make ‘substantial amendments’ to the legislation after retired military chiefs argued it risked opening up a Pandora’s box of legal claims and elderly veterans being dragged through the courts.”
The context for all this is that failed PM Keir Starmer’s government is prosecuting British army veterans based upon spurious allegations.
