A car bomb which failed to detonate has been found at a Belfast airport parking compound, unbelievably it has been there for almost a year until recently discovered. A faulty timing device was the reason the device didn’t detonate.
The car identified as a Toyota Carina was discovered by staff to have a pipe bomb attached to several cans of petrol, returning passengers were holed up in hotels while police were called in to remove the hazard.
It is believed to be the work of dissident republicans opposed to the peace process, officials are shocked the bomb went undetected for so long at Q-Park car park.Police checkpoints were removed from Aldergrove after the Good Friday peace treaty was signed in 1998.
