"The New IRA declared on Tuesday that it had intended to kill police coming out of the station, according to local outlet Irish News, and warned that it planned to target officers at their homes with bombs."
"Assistant Chief Constable Davy Beck said that the latest attack demonstrated a clear intent to disrupt communities and potentially injure or kill police officers and staff, according to the Reuters news agency."
"The New IRA is one of a small number of active armed groups that oppose a three-decade-old peace deal that largely ended sectarian violence in the northern part of the island."
The New IRA has claimed responsibility for a car bomb attack on a police station in Belfast, escalating threats nearly 30 years after a peace deal. A 66-year-old man was arrested under the Terrorism Act, with ongoing searches in Belfast. The group intends to target police officers at their homes, indicating a significant escalation in their tactics. The New IRA opposes the Good Friday Agreement and has been involved in a series of attacks on police, demonstrating a clear intent to disrupt communities and harm law enforcement.
