TWO MEN ARRESTED in connection with the attempted bombing of a Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) officer’s car in east Belfast over the weekend have been released this evening.

The off-duty police officer discovered the bomb under his car outside his home on the Upper Newtownards Road in east Belfast on Sunday afternoon.
