Four Men Charged With Dissident Republican Activity
Four men have been charged in connection with dissident republican activity in Lurgan, Co Armagh.
Detectives from Crime Operations recovered a fully prepared Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP) which was ready for deployment in the area last week.
The device has since been made safe.
A 22-year-old man has been charged with the attempted murder of police officers and possession of explosives with intent to endanger life on Wednesday, 31 August.
Three men, aged 22, 24 and 46, have been charged with preparation of terrorist acts.
All four suspects are due to appear at Craigavon Magistrates Court on Tuesday, 27 September.
Assistant Chief Constable Will Kerr, Head of Crime Operations Department, said: "We are issuing a photo of part of the device which had been deconstructed by police and shows the makeshift casing, a detonator, Semtex and copper piping.
"This investigation has been running for some time, led by detectives from Crime Operations who have worked closely with colleagues in Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon District and received invaluable support from colleagues in Operational Support Department.
"The device was located in a derelict house in a residential area close to people's homes. Those responsible have absolutely no regard for the local community, or indeed any community.
"I would ask all those with any influence in the community to use that influence to persuade people not to get involved in this type of activity. People who get involved, particularly young people, face the prospect of significant, possibly life changing, consequences."
A 22-year-old man arrested last Thursday as part of the same investigation has been released unconditionally.
