An incendiary bomb left beside the car of a part time PSNI officer could have killed both the police woman who was targeted and her three-year-old daughter, it has been claimed.
The part-time officer – who is also a civilian worker with the PSNI – found the device in a bag beside her car as she left her home around two miles from Dungiven on Monday morning. The area around the Ballyquin Road house, where the young police officer and her family have lived for many years remained closed off throughout Monday and yesterday.
