Jon Boutcher praised the bravery of officers who "rushed towards danger" to evacuate family homes close to Dunmurry police station on Saturday night. The device detonated while police were directing local residents to safety, including families with young babies. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) believes dissident republicans carried out the bombing, which is being treated as attempted murder. Boutcher was speaking at a press conference at Stormont, during which the first and deputy first ministers and the Policing Board chair also condemned the attack. "We thought it was really crucially important today that we stood here together with a united voice," First Minister Michelle O'Neill said. She said the bomb had put people's lives at risk and "showed a blatant disregard for the local community". O'Neill added it was an "extremely terrifying ordeal" for the delivery driver who was forced to transport the bomb to its target. The man's vehicle had been hijacked at gunpoint in Twinbrook, west Belfast, shortly after 22:50 BST on Saturday. His vehicle was then fitted with a gas cylinder device before he was ordered to bring the bomb to the station, where it exploded. Deputy First Minister Emma Little Pengelly said she was "absolutely appalled" by the bombing. "It is vitally important that we send a very clear message this morning that we stand shoulder to shoulder in clear and unequivocal condemnation of this attack." (BBC)
