Two men arrested over Enniskillen bombing
Police have arrested two more people over the explosion in Enniskillen on Monday night which injured six police officers.
The men were detained last night and are being questioned in connection with the bombing which was claimed by the Continuity IRA. A third man, who was arrested on Tuesday, has since been released without charge.
The officers were injured as they cordoned off the area around Enniskillen's town hall. The device, which was made up of 10-15lbs of commercial explosive, had been left beside the building in Water Street. The town hall received superficial damage.
Enniskillen was the scene of one of Northern Ireland's worst terrorist outrages when a bomb exploded at the town's war memorial on Remembrance Day in 1987. Eleven people died and 63 were injured in the attack which was claimed by the IRA.
The Continuity IRA gained prominence after a series of attacks carried out in 1996 and was formed by former IRA activists opposed to the republican ceasefire and the peace process.
