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.

DUNGIVEN: Police have blamed the New IRA for planting a bomb at a police officer’s car beside where her three-year-old daughter sits.
The device left at the part-time female officer’s home near Dungiven, Co Londonderry. was attached to a container of flammable liquid. Police Service of Northern Ireland Assistant Chief Constable Mark McEwan branded the murder bid by the dissident extremists as “despicable and cowardly”.
The device, which did not detonate, was designed to create a fireball, McEwan said. He said the child’s seat was in the car and the terror group would have been aware of it. “We will be unrelenting in our efforts in bringing these people to justice,” said the senior officer.
