Man arrested 24 hours after CCTV image of bicycle bomber released by detectives

THE 40 year old man arrested yesterday by police investigating a double failed dissident republican bomb attack has been released unconditionally.

The suspect was detained by detectives from PSNI’s Serious Crime Branch in the Co. Antrim area yesterday morning investigating the planned attacks on Derry City Council offices last September.

He was taken to Antrim Serious Crime Suite for questioning.

The arrest came 24 hours after police renewed their appeal for information about the attempted bombings.
