Bomb explodes outside Northern Ireland shopping centre | The Australian: "A BOMB planted in a car exploded outside a shopping centre in the Northern Irish city of Londonderry today, causing substantial damage but no injuries.

The blast occurred just after midnight local time outside a bank in Londonderry and follows a series of recent attacks blamed on dissident republicans seeking to undermine hard-won peace in the British province.



'Shortly after midnight a device in a Corsa car exploded outside a bank at the rear of the DaVinci retail complex'' in the city, said a spokesman from the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

'A warning had been received just over an hour earlier and a cordon was in place.

'Initial inquiries suggest there were no injuries. Substantial damage has been caused to the retail complex and to the car.''"
