SDLP Condemns L'Derry Bomb Alerts
The SDLP has condemned those behind a number of bomb alerts in L'Derry over the weekend.
Leader Colum Eastwood MLA said those who seek to raise tension between communities in the city are acting against the will of people in Derry.
He said: "Those who seek to disrupt that respect or diminish the process of reconciliation in this city with bombs or bullets have betrayed the people of Derry.
"This is not about a divide between Catholics and Protestants, unionism and nationalism or loyalists and republicans. The only divide in this city is between those who want to blow our peace apart and those of us who will stand together to protect it.
"Derry has overcome so much through years of conflict. We will continue to overcome those who try to diminish our peace."
