Loyalist booby-trap in Tyrone

A SEVEN-MONTH pregnant nationalist woman had a narrow escape when a bomb was spotted under her car on the last day of January.
The woman who lives in the Greystone area of Dungannon, Co Tyrone said that she and her husband had separately driven the car on a number of occasions before the device was discovered on January 31.

The device, which was of South African origin, was placed under the passenger side of the blue Volkswagon Vento and contained ¾ of a kilo of Powergel, a commercial explosive. The explosive, while not common, has been frequently employed by British-inspired death squads.

It is widely believed that the booby-trap was of the same type used in the murder of human rights lawyer Rosemary Nelson in 1999 and fuels nationalist fears of an escalation of loyalist bomb terror. The couple have since fled their home.

The 32-year-old woman, who does not want to be identified said: “How can you continue on when somebody obviously roundabout has said ‘go and blow these people up’?”
