Police at the City Cemetery in Londonderry where four suspected pipe bombs were discoveredThey believe the devices were to be used in a planned attack on officers after an illegal dissident republican parade in the city on Monday.The devices were discovered near the entrance to the cemetery just after 06:30 BST.A security operation has been taking place since Tuesday morning, but has now ended.Last week, the PSNI warned that street disorder could be used to draw them into a gun or bomb attack.
"Last week, we warned that we had strong community intelligence there may be attempts to draw police into serious public disorder in Derry/Londonderry, and to use that as a platform to launch terrorist attacks on police," he said. "That intelligence played out yesterday and today in the form of disorder involving young children throwing ready-made petrol bombs and other missiles at police."The actions of those responsible are reprehensible and show a complete disregard and utter contempt for the community."Mr Singleton called on anyone who can assist the police investigation to contact the PSNI or call Crimestoppers, which can be done anonymously.
