Man Arrested Over Victoria Square Bomb
A man has been arrested in relation to a bomb attack in Belfast city centre six weeks ago.
On Wednesday, police confirmed that a 27-year-old man had been arrested in connection with bombing. He has been taken to Antrim police station for questioning.
On 24 November 2013, a man's car was hijacked by three masked men in the Ardoyne area. They ordered him to take a 130lb device in the back of his vehicle to the city's Victoria Square. The man drove for a while but abandoned his car in Victoria Street, close to the access to Victoria Square, where he then ran to Musgrave police station to alert officers.
