Rosemary Barton, Ulster Unionist MLA for Fermanagh & South Tyrone, has condemned the attempted murder of police and army technical officers at Wattlebridge in County Fermanagh.
Mrs Barton said:
"I am absolutely disgusted to hear that yet again republican terrorists have tried to murder police and army technical officers in County Fermanagh. This is a despicable crime and should be condemned in the strongest possible terms. My thoughts are with the police officers and soldiers who thankfully escaped injury in this cowardly attack.
“There is an onus on everyone in the Fermanagh community to help the PSNI catch the criminals responsible for this heinous crime.
“For many years the people of this area were subject to a terrorist campaign of murder and intimidation resulting in people being forced to move from their homes. Now once again the law abiding people of this area are being targeted. This has happened several times within the past year. Sadly terrorists are still at work in our society.
“If anyone has any information in relation to this incident, please pass it on to the PSNI.”
