Man charged over N Ireland police attack
Police in Northern Ireland say they've charged a 26-year-old man with attempted murder, in connection with an attack on a police patrol near the province's border with the Republic of Ireland last week.
British broadcasters reported that a second man had also been charged with attempted murder in connection with the shooting, but there was no immediate confirmation from Northern Ireland police.
An estimated three gunmen fired shots at a police patrol in Garrison, a lakeside border village in the westernmost corner of Northern Ireland on Saturday.
The attack came the same day Irish Republican Army dissidents left a 180 kilogramme car bomb outside police reform headquarters in Belfast. The homemade device failed to detonate.
