Pipe and petrol bombs 'don't just appear out of the sky', says a priest in Londonderry
A Catholic priest has described the planting of four suspected pipe bombs inside the grounds of a cemetery in Londonderry as "evil".
"This is something planned for some time, these people obviously had planned to lure police in," he said.Last week, police warned that street disorder could be used to draw them into a gun or bomb attack.It had involved a march through the Creggan area wherePolice Service of Northern Ireland Assistant Chief Constable Bobby Singleton said Tuesday's discovery was "a sinister and worrying development".
"Their actions on Monday, and on previous Easter Mondays have not done one thing, hasn't helped one iota, to achieve their cause of a united Ireland, which they tell us is their aim in life".That, Fr Canny added, "is a manipulation of children, which in my opinion is something very serious".Fr Canny said previous efforts by clergy to engage in dialogue with dissident republicans had been challenging.
