    Viable pipe-bomb found in Antrim

    28 November 2010 Last updated at 05:15 ET A pipe-bomb has been discovered outside a house in Antrim.

    It was discovered in the Portlee Walk area of the town on Saturday.

    Army Technical Officers declared the device viable and removed it for further forensic testing.

    No houses were evacuated and a motive is yet to be established. The same property was targeted last week when two shots were fired through the kitchen window.

    Councillor Ken Wilkinson from the PUP said whoever was responsible was putting other residents in danger.

    "There are other members of the public living in that estate. Within that perimeter there are maybe 10 - 12 houses," he said.
