Bomb defused at Stormont building
A bomb at the Stormont headquarters of Northern Ireland's Department of Agriculture has been defused.
British army technical officers dealt with what has been described by police as a “crude, anti-personnel-type device” at Dundonald House in Stormont.
Army technical officers also removed a number of other items from the scene for further examination.
The government building was not evacuated as police managed to isolate the bomb. Police have not yet said who they believe planted today’s device.
The bomb was defused as the Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and the British Prime Minister Tony Blair held talks in London to discuss how to deal with the problems in the peace process.
Before the Downing Street meeting, Mr Ahern held talks with the Ulster Unionist leader, David Trimble.
Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness said today’s Blair/Ahern discussions at Downing Street could be “the most important meeting of the entire peace process”.
