Two babies were rescued by officers just seconds before a bomb exploded in a car parked near a police station.
Residents in Dunmurry, west Belfast were evacuated from their homes last night after a gas cylinder device was found to have been placed in the boot of a delivery vehicle.
After spotting the vehicle abandoned outside the police station after 10.50pm, officers activated the facility’s ‘attack alarm’.
Two babies were being taken to safety just as the car bomb went off, sending debris in all directions and engulfing the van in flames.
No-one was reported injured in the incident in what has been described as a ‘miraculous’ occurence.
