Man questioned over police attack

Version 0 of 1.

Detectives investigating a weekend attack on police officers in County Fermanagh have arrested a man.

Two police officers were treated for shock and one for minor injuries following Saturday's attack on a PSNI foot patrol in Lisnaskea.

An attempt was made to fire an improvised rocket-propelled grenade, but it failed to leave the launcher.

The man in his early 30s was arrested by gardai in County Cavan, near the border with Fermanagh.

The arrest in the Republic of Ireland followed searches in the Blacklion area of Cavan and Belcoo in Fermanagh.

Dissident republicans were blamed by the PSNI for the attack.

Police said it was the first time dissidents have used Semtex, a commercial explosive previously used by the Provisional IRA.
