A police officer's partner has been injured after a bomb exploded under her car in east Belfast. The 38-year-old was reversing the vehicle out of the driveway of his house in Kingsdale Park at about 0730 BST on Friday when the device exploded. She was taken to hospital suffering from a minor arm injury and ringing in her ears, but has since been discharged. The police are expected to comment at about midday. BBC Ireland Correspondent Mark Simpson said the location of what is presumed to be a dissident republican attack is significant as it is far from the areas in which the dissidents have been most active. "This is less than a mile from Police HQ, it's in the constituency of the DUP first minister Peter Robinson, it's one of the most unionist constituencies in Northern Ireland," he said. "Dissident republicans haven't been terribly active in Belfast as a whole in recent years, never mind east Belfast. This clearly looks like an upping of the ante." More >>Attachments:
