Attack On Police Officers Condemned
DUP MLA Tom Buchanan has condemned an attack on police officers in Strabane.
The PSNI said an explosion in Townsend Street on Tuesday, 21 March, was an "attempt to kill" police officers.
Mr Buchanan said: "There is a clear determination from those behind these attacks to drag Northern Ireland back to a time of violence and fear. There must be a united and resolute stand from right across the political spectrum to such activities. They can never be justified and that should be the message emanating from all those in a position of leadership within the Strabane area."
Alliance Justice spokesperson Trevor Lunn MLA said: "This type of attack achieves nothing except putting police officers, who are trying to protect the local community, in danger and diverting vital resources from other areas that might need them.
"There is no justification for this attack. Any act of violence against police is an assault on the rule of law and everyone in our society.
"I urge anyone with information to contact police with it immediately."
Investigations are ongoing.
