Two Men Arrested Over Attempted Murder Of Off-Duty Police Officer
Two men have been arrested in connection with the attempted murder of an off duty police officer in L'Derry.
A viable under car bomb was found outside the house of the officer in the Ardanlee area on 22 February.
The suspects are aged 43 and 59.
Acting Detective Chief Inspector Peter McKenna said: "If this UVIED had exploded with our colleague and his young family in the car it would have had devastating consequences. I believe the New IRA are responsible for this cowardly attack during which they put everyone’s safety at risk as the device was left in a residential area and could have exploded at any time.
"I would like to thank the public for their assistance to date but I believe there are still people in the community who hold vital pieces of information that could assist police and I would appeal to them to make contact with Detectives on 101 or the confidential CRIMESTOPPERS number on 0800 555 111."
