A gun and silencer seized during a search operation targeting the New IRA in Londonderry were to be “used in a violent attack on police”, a detective has said. Detectives from the PSNI’s Terrorism Investigation Unit (TIU) recovered the suspected munitions during raids targeting the dissident republican group on Tuesday. A quantity of suspected ammunition was also seized during proactive searches in the Ballymagroarty area of the city in addition to component parts of pipe bombs and other Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
