Brookeborough security operation ends
The security operation around Lord Brookeborough's estate in Co Fermanagh has ended.
Police and army withdrew from the area at lunchtime today having discovered a small blast site on a road bordering Viscount Brookeborough's 1,000-acre Colebrooke Estate.
The explosion, which happened around 12.45am on Wednesday, left a crater in the ditch at the side of the road. The Continuity IRA later claimed responsibility for the blast.
PSNI Chief Inspector John Maxwell said: "This an area popular with locals who walk here with their dogs. Thankfully, no one was injured."
Police have urged for anyone with information to contact detectives at Enniskillen on 028 6632 2823, or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
