A 21-year-old man has been arrested by police investigating the activities of the New IRA in Derry-Londonderry.

It follows the attempted murder of a part-time police officer in Dungiven in April.

It's after a bomb was placed under the young mother's car in the Ballyquin Road area.

The suspect has been taken to the Serious Crime Suite at Musgrave Police Station for questioning.

Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Hamlin of the Terrorism Investigation Unit said: “The man has been arrested under the Terrorism Act in connection with the attempted murder of a female member of police staff, who is also a part-time police officer, following the discovery of a viable explosive device beside the young mother’s car on the Ballyquin Road, Dungiven on Monday 19th April.

“He has been taken to the Serious Crime Suite at Musgrave Police Station for questioning.”
