Another Bomb in Northern Ireland Targeted at Police - Polidicks

[quote=BBC News]Police said a bomb in south Belfast had the potential to kill police officers and members of the public. Army technical officers were called to Annadale Embankment at about 0130 BST on Tuesday and the police helicopter was also launched. Officers were lured towards the device by a phone call claiming a woman was in distress in the area. Superintendent Chris Noble said it was a "clear attempt to murder officers". The device was attached to a stile at the top of a path leading to the Lagan River. [b]Police said a significant number of officers responded to a call apparently from a woman in distress in a wood.[/b] They said the bomb was small but could have killed. Supt Noble described those responsible as "callous". The acting chairman of the Policing Board Brian Rea met with the chief constable on Tuesday morning. Mr Rea condemned the "utter depravity" of those who had left the device. "I find that it is difficult to find words to describe the mentality and morals of those who are embarking on such operations," he said. "There clearly are those who are intent, and bent on death and destruction." Mr Rea said police officers were aware of the threat posed by dissident republicans. "I think every police officer who goes out morning, noon or night, goes out into situations where they realise their lives are in danger, and they are taking extra measures to protect themselves and to protect their families, and most of all to protect the community," he said. The area remains cordoned off whilst the police carry out searches for any additional devices.

[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-13129139]At the same time, dissident loyalists/loyalist tried to letterbomb the head of a football club in Scotland, Celtic (which has strong ties with Northern Ireland), along with two high profile fans, one of which was MSP.[/url] It does seem that tensions in Northern Ireland are boiling over, sadly.

Wait, so basically this is the rundown: The IRA plant a bomb. They then plant it in a public area. THEN they called the police with one of the most sensitive topics (woman in distress) just so they could blow it up in their faces? What shit is this?
