A woman has been taken to hospital with minor injuries following an explosion near the home of a police officer in east Belfast.
The Ambulance Service were called to Kingsdale Park in the Kings Road area of the city on Friday at 0730 BST.
An Ambulance Service spokesperson said the woman suffered slight redness to her arm and ringing in her ears.
Some reports say the explosion happened in the vicinity of a car. Police have cordoned off the area.
People in the area reported hearing a "loud bang" around 0700 BST.
Let's cut to the chase here. Was this someone trying to kill a policeman or not?
The title suggests it is but the report tells us nothing.
No, the explosion was intended to scratch her itchy bum hole. ::)
Nolan show Reports Non-Life Threatening Injuries.

Could have been halloween fireworks for all we know. The BBC report isn't much better with it's unconfirmed reports.

Aye Nolan was his usual self, "I don't want to speculate, but was it a bomb?"
Scumbags, a kid with a sparkler would have more brains than these morons, this is what makes them so dangerous.

It was a valid question - slight redness to the arm and a ringing in the ears?? sounds like a firework to me, and a weak one at that. Could well be that a woman got 'injured' by a firework, reporter mentioned she was a cop and the rest was done by sensationalists i.e you. Zapatistas q was the one I had in my mind when I read the thread.
A firework under a cops car at 7.30am :D :D Catch a grip would ye man ::)
On the 11 o'clock news there it said it was NEAR a policeman's house.No mention of the lady being a peeler.

It's becoming a bit more clear now. The BBC have updated their report including a picture.

Sinister enough looking. A lucky lady I would say.
Just on the news that it is thought that the lady is the wife or girlfriend of a peeler.

Peelers have just stated that it was an explosive device designed to cause injury or death .

A Roman candle??????? :P
Sinister development.
I had a chuckle at Pat Doherty last night talking about the people who were responsible for the placing of a (hoax ) bomb in Clady yesterday :
Whoever parked the van there or planted the device, if there is a device, really needs to catch themselves on.
"It's a disgrace," he said.

Who needs to catch themselves on? Those who planted the device or those who said a device was planted when it actually wasn't? I'm a little confused.

This is very strange. I can't really understand the Dissos going into that area to do this.
HS I'm finding alot of what has been going on recently a bit strange.
600lb bomb beside local houses on a backtrack in South Armagh, bombs in Fermanagh and other areas that cause days of investigation and bother but prove to be false, suspect devices in various other parts of the wee six that now take days to sort out, when in the past it would have been done in hours.
Are the dissidents really well organised or are MI5 up in Holywood just clued in?

A lot of people are asking that same question.
Well if the ex provo's hadn't any part in these why do they not release a statement to say so. If you look at it -- the van parked in Claudy was a distraction so they could go about their business in Belfast.

So the Tyrone brigade of whatever organisation involved are now operating in Belfast? ::)
I wondered how long it would be before the peelers were blamed for planting these explosives!
HS where is the King's Road?

Maybe the "bombers" used google street view. I notice its not far from Knock. Handy.

Serious question - It was the woman who was driving?
:D
But the bomb was under the passengers side of the car? Strange.

Aye, apparently it was meant for her partner, who has the PSNI connections, not herself, and who usually gets a lift (in the passenger seat) with her.
Where was he this morning?

The usual first step of "we need people from the community to come forward otherwise the investigation can go no further" isn't as common recently either.
Apparently her boyfriend is a dog handler for the PSNI.
....... I hope the Dog is OK.
