Brookeborough security operation ends
The security operation around Lord Brookeborough's estate in Co Fermanagh has ended.
Police and army withdrew from the area at lunchtime today having discovered a small blast site on a road bordering Viscount Brookeborough's 1,000-acre Colebrooke Estate.
The explosion, which happened around 12.45am on Wednesday, left a crater in the ditch at the side of the road. The Continuity IRA later claimed responsibility for the blast.
