A young police officer has been killed by a booby-trap car bomb in Northern Ireland.
The device exploded under the vehicle outside his home in Highfield Close, off the Gortin Road in Omagh, Co Tyrone, just before 4pm on Saturday.
It is understood the 25-year-old was a new recruit to the Police Service of Northern Ireland and was a Catholic.
Politicians north and south of the border condemned the bomb attack on the residential housing estate.
Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams said his party was determined that those responsible would not set back the peace process.
The blast will send shivers through the people of Omagh, where 29 people, including a woman pregnant with twins, were killed when a Real IRA car bomb exploded in 1998.
