About this episode

On April 6, last Monday night around 10.30 p.m., a fast food delivery driver in Lurgan, Northern Ireland, got hijacked by two masked men with a gun. They stuck a bomb in the trunk of his white Audi and forced him to drive it right through the wide open outer gate at the local police station. That gate had been stuck open for two weeks straight because of a busted gearbox on the electronic motor. The driver rolled past an empty security post into the compound, but he jumped out, ran to staff, and warned them about the explosive. Police are calling it a reckless proxy bomb attack, likely from dissident Republican groups. They evacuated about 100 homes nearby, and Army experts blew up the crude, but real device, and a controlled blast. No one got hurt, but it shook the community. Top cops like Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson and Chief Constable John Bucher slammed it as cowardly, saying it was probably time for, Easter dissident, parades to grab attention. They insist security held no
breach, since the car only hit the sterile zone between outer and inner gates. Repairs on that gate are still pending, with parts due any day now. This whole thing underscores the lingering terror risks in the region, and the investigation is just getting started. Stay sharp out there.
