Cookstown Hit By 'Bomb Alert'
Terrorists are playing a dangerous game of 'Cat and Mouse' with the PSNI today.
Officers are searching several areas of Cookstown after a warning that a small device had been left in the town - even though no specific location has been established by police.
A PSNI spokesman has said that people living in the area should not touch anything suspicious.
They said that a telephone bomb warning was made to Cookstown police station on Thursday morning.
Meanwhile, a man has been shot after being abducted by several men in north Belfast.
