Secretary of State @hilarybennmp condemns Saturday's car bomb attack in Dunmurry pays tribute to the extraordinary work of the PSNI and security partners in keeping communities safe.

I utterly condemn last night’s attack on Dunmurry police station. My thoughts are with the local community, and with the PSNI officers who work every day to keep people safe. I urge anyone with information to come forward. Those responsible will be brought to justice.

I am appalled by what happened last night in Dunmurry. This was a shameless and cowardly attack on the brave men and women who work so hard to keep our communities safe in Northern Ireland. I urge anyone with information about who was responsible to contact the PSNI.
