    Apparently the army got a warning about it, was this a warning from a grass or a warning from the nutters that planted it?

    Its coming.

    We'll be back at war in two years. The GFA solves nothing, and if South Armagh is about to get stuck in (see this and recent ro****************************************** with anti-air weapon) then its curtains for peace.

    "Dissident republicans are being blamed for planting the bomb "

    Do they have any proof or are they just blaming the usual suspects?

    Why was there a long trigger cable, was this a roadside bomb?

    I wonder are these bombs being left to actually attack or as warnings?
    They always seem to come with a warning and location.

    Fertiliser bombs with trip wires are the modus operandi of the Artane Boys Band also.

    Lets not rush to blame dissidents republicans. We also shouldn't rule out the Linfield FC supporters club (The pride of Cullyhanna branch).

    You fukkin idiot.
