Suspect device an elaborate hoax
A suspicious device which was found in a Co Armagh town on Tuesday has been declared an elaborate hoax.
Army bomb experts secured an area around Kinelowen Street in Keady and carried out two controlled explosions on the suspect package.
Detectives were alerted to the device after the Continuity IRA telephoned a coded warning to a Belfast newspaper on Monday.
At the time local people were urged not to touch anything suspicious following the warning.
SDLP councillor Thomas O'Hanlon said those responsible for the hoax had no place in society.
"The people of this area don't need this," he added.
