Pipebombs Found In Sligo
Two pipebombs were found in Sligo last night.
An Army disposal team was deployed to a forest entrance on Holy Well Road just outside the town at about 9.30 last night.
They arrived following a request from the gardai as a suspicious device had been found.
It was made safe at the scene by the bomb disposal team, and a second device found subsequently was brought back to a secure military location for forensic examination.
The scene was declared safe at 11.45pm and remains of the two devices were handed over to Garda Headquarters in Dublin to assist in their investigations.
The incident was the 118th callout for the Army's bomb disposal teams this year, and they have made 59 improvised explosive devices safe in 2012 so far.
