Police officers escape injury in grenade attack
Three police officers have narrowly escaped injury after dissident republicans targeted them in a rocket propelled grenade attack in Lisnaskea.
The officers were on foot patrol in Main Street shortly after 11pm on Saturday night when the attack happened, although the grenade failed to explode.
Two of the officers were taken to hospital with severe shock and minor injuries.
PSNI Chief Constable Hugh Orde has warned that the threat from dissident republicans is at its highest level for many years, with a growing list of murder attempts on police officers in recent months.
