Following the discovery of an explosive device in the Poleglass area of west Belfast, Mark Lindsay, Chairman of the Police Federation for Northern Ireland, said: “Terrorists who planted an explosive device in Poleglass are to be condemned for endangering the lives of police officers and people who live in the area.

“This was a deliberate attempt to kill and those who planned it do not care who got caught up in their evil deeds. There should be no place for the bomb or gun in today’s society, and those who did this deserve to be ostracised by a community that has suffered enough.”
