A device believed to be a grenade has been found outside a policeman’s home near Maguiresbridge, County Fermanagh.
It was discovered on Wednesday evening. It is not clear if it exploded. The policeman and his family have been moved out of the house.
No-one was injured. A security operation is under way.
SDLP Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA Tommy Gallagher said it was “a cowardly attack”.
“While it is yet unclear who is responsible their actions will be wholeheartedly condemned by everyone in our community.
“Their cowardly actions – attacking a family in their own home during the Christmas period – are in stark contrast to the bravery of those who continue to serve our community in the PSNI.
“I would appeal for anyone with information as to who was responsible to bring it to the PSNI without delay.”
