Pipe Bomb found in Primary School in N.I

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11198931

Seriously, in a primary school. Cowards.

It has now been confirmed the device was viable. An 8 yr old boy found it. 8 yr old. He picked it up and took it to a teacher.

yeah i just heard this on Radio1, shocking, and very luck. Very pleased it didnt go off

Thank God that little boy showed his teacher that bomb. It doesn't bear thinking about had he not found it and it had detonated. Disgusted.

Its always been the same over there. I remember when the Holy cross school epic started. oh that was a fun summer on the streets decended into so fantastic rioting towards the end of the summer and into winter.

Nothing over here in NI suprises me anymore i have to say, its just a messed up place

mbk calm down
tbh its nothing new ,you would have a coronary if i was to tell you some of the places i had to defuse ied's, personally i thought it was funny (the joke) and i have 29 years of dealing with it, yes its sad but thats how it is and if ya didnt laugh about it ni would eat you up

i understand why it would upset you but the worst didnt happen, and as said before unfortunately this isnt new or strange

so yes be concerned, hate the people responcible, but relax when people take the mick, about (and this is how most from back home think of it) a non event, harsh but true

hope that makes sence

Dave, I don't care if they all want to blow themselves up, but i just can't see the funny side of it when it is brought into a primary school where there are innocent children.

Just highlights the fact that things really aren't as rosy over there as the press would have you believe.

press dont make it sound rosy they just dont report it, call it omission of vilolence , its never stopped
tbh its just been a slow press week ,cos this is and im not joking actually quite a regular thing
