Ulster Unionist Party Policing Board member, Ross Hussey MLA has described the actions of those behind the bomb discovered in the Ardoyne area as “utterly reprehensible”.
The West Tyrone MLA said:
“The actions of those behind this device, which endangered the lives of everyone in the area, are totally reprehensible.’
“I am disgusted that 14 years on from the Good Friday Agreement we are still waking up to news that elements in Northern Ireland are still seeking to main and murder.’
“I would encourage anyone with any information on this incident to contact the PSNI as it is vital that they are given all the assistance they need to successfully tackle the terrorist threat in Northern Ireland.’
