SECRETARY of State Shaun Woodward yesterday proscribed a dissident republican group suspected of involvement in this week’s car-bomb attack on a Catholic police officer.
Mr Woodward said he had decided to specify the dissident group calling itself Oglaigh na hEireann (Irish Republican Army).
The group, which is believed to be based in the Strabane area of Co Tyrone, was blamed for the murder of former dissident Andrew Burns in February.
Mr Burns’s body was found with gunshot wounds close to a church in Doneyloop in Co Donegal.
Police are also understood to be investigating whether the group played any role in a
car-bomb attack in which a police officer in the Co Tyrone village of Castlederg was seriously injured on Monday evening.
