ROSSLEA: The discovery of a suspicious device in Co Fermanagh has heightened community fear of a campaign of dissident republican attacks on border towns and villages, an Assembly member has claimed.
A police operation began after reports of a loud bang in the Rosslea area late on Friday night was still ongoing yesterday.
Officers remained on the scene at Rellan Road where a suspicious object was found after the initial incident was reported.
Some roads in the village have yet to be reopened.
Ulster Unionist MLA Tom Elliott said the community had been left suspicious of the republican movement and their motives.
He said: “This area of Fermanagh has suffered heinous terrorist activity during the past 40 years. Surely there is a need for these people to be allowed to enjoy some peace at this time?”
