London .- British military deminers have cleared this morning of Monday, a bomb planted in a car in the center of Derry, the second largest city in Northern Ireland. The vehicle had "an important and viable device," said a senior Northern Irish police, the district commander Stephen Martin. The bomb had been planted by dissident republicans, Martin said, noting that the explosion could have caused death.
Dozens of neighbors, many of them elderly, were evacuated from their homes after bomb alert received through a phone call on at 17.45 (18.45 CET Spanish). The terrorists would have detonated the bomb planned in the coming days, according to Martin. "I think it is the Real IRA or Oglaigh na hEireann, two armed groups still active in the region, said.
The security forces have increased surveillance and police patrols after the incident, explained Martin. "It's been two years since he raised the alert level to 'severe' in Northern Ireland and these actions are a possibility consistent," he said.
