DETECTIVES from the PSNI’s Terrorist Investigation Unit have charged a 52 year old man with terrorism offences.

He has been charged with five offences, including preparatory acts of terrorism, possession of articles for use in terrorism as well as three separate charges of possession of explosive devices with intent to endanger life.

The man is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court on Friday 14th May. As is normal procedure all charges are reviewed by the PPS.

The charges are in connection with the discovery of improvised explosive devices at Ballyquin Road, Dungiven on 19th April 2021 and Skeoge Road, Derry on 9th July 2016, and the discovery of an improvised mortar bomb device at Church View, Strabane on 7th September 2019.

He was arrested in Derry on Wednesday in connection with the attempted murder of a female member of police staff, who is also a part time police officer, following the discovery of a viable explosive device beside the young mother’s car in Ballyquin Road, Dungiven on Monday 19th April and as part of Op Ledging, targeting the New IRA’s bomb making activities as well as the group’s storage of explosive devices and equipment.
