A bomb detonated at the side of their vehicle
Police are investigating whether the New IRA was responsible for the attempted murder of two officers on patrol in Co Tyrone.
Providing an update on the investigation, Mr Singleton said: “Shortly before 11pm last night two of the officers from the Strabane response local policing team were on duty in the Mount Carmel Heights area, they were conducting routine patrols in relation to ongoing antisocial behaviour in the area when they observed a flash and heard a loud bang.
“Our thoughts are first and foremost with the two police officers who were here last night serving their community. Mr Singleton said PSNI chief constable Simon Byrne had met local officers in Strabane to offer his support.She tweeted: “Those involved in this attack will not succeed in dragging society backwards. We must all unite against these reckless actions. We must keep building the peace and moving forward.”
“Northern Ireland will not be held to ransom by fringe elements intent only on bloodshed and dragging our society backwards.
