D*******s behind bomb attack on Derry office


Dissident republicans have said they carried out an attack on the city of culture office in Londonderry.

The claim was made in a call to a Derry newspaper using a recognised code word.

A police spokeswoman said an investigation into the bombing was continuing but refused to comment on who was behind the attack.

A small device exploded outside the City of Culture office at Waterloo Place on Monday at about 0330 GMT. No-one was hurt and the damage was minor.

SDLP MP for Foyle Mark Durkan said those responsible for the attack were "anti-Derry".

Former Sinn Fein Mayor of the city, Paul Fleming, said the attack would achieve "absolutely nothing".
