Charges Follow Fermanagh Shooting Bid
Court appearances are getting underway in the North later after two men were charged with attempted murder.
Detectives from the PSNI Serious Crime Branch charged both men in relation to a gun attack in the Co Fermanagh village of Garrison at the weekend.
One shot was fired at undercover police on Saturday. Police fired two shots in return but nobody was hurt.
Both men - aged 32 and 26 - will appear in court in Dungannon later today having also been charged with firearms offences.
The 26-year-old is further charged with using a firearm with intent to resist arrest.
The police said yesterday that three other men arrested after the incident were released without charge on Monday.
Two were arrested by the PSNI in Fermanagh and one by Irish police in County Leitrim.
Dissident republicans were blamed for the attack in Fermanagh as well as for a 400lb bomb which partially exploded outside the headquarters of the NI Policing Board in Belfast the same evening.
