A “viable explosive device” discovered on a small plane at an airport in Northern Ireland was removed by army bomb disposal experts, police said on Tuesday. The bomb was found on the English-registered plane at St Angelo airport near Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.
Police said they were called to the regional airport shortly after 20.00 local time (1900GMT) on Monday and subsequently closed the main Enniskillen to Kesh road.
Authorities have given no other details on the bomb or who may have been responsible.
Occasional violence and threats of terrorism still continue in Northern Ireland despite the power-sharing between Catholics and Protestants that emerged from the 1998 Good Friday peace accords.
