| A small bomb detonated inside an abandoned car in the Northern Ireland border town of Newry, but nobody was injured, police said Saturday. No group claimed responsibility for the blast Friday night inside Newry's main bus depot. Irish Republican Army dissidents continue to mount occasional bombings in opposition to the 1998 peace accord for Northern Ireland. Authorities were alerted to the car because it caught fire, suggesting that the homemade explosive device inside had malfunctioned. But firefighters didn't realize that the source was a small bomb, which detonated as they were dousing the blaze. Shrapnel hit nearby buses but missed the firefighters, police said. |
