A man who phoned the police and told them he had just planted two explosive devices - one of them outside the home of a councillor - has been jailed for two and a half years.
Not only did Keith McClenaghan (41) from Moss Park in Londonderry phone the PSNI, but he went to Strand Road Police Station, identified himself to officers, and told them: "I wouldn't pick them up so I wouldn't."
Derry Crown Court heard McClenaghan admitted leaving the devices outside the front doors of independent republican councillor Gary Donnelly's home in the Creggan area and a friend of Mr Donnelly's in the Ballymagroarty area in the early hours of Easter Sunday on April 21, 2019.
