Alliance condemns Lisburn bomb

12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Thu 30th Apr 1998

Alliance Deputy Leader and Lisburn Councillor Seamus Close has condemned those who planted the car bomb in Lisburn this afternoon.

Seamus Close said:

"We must all be thankful that this device was dealt with safely, saving the people who live and work in Lisburn from danger.

"The planting of this bomb is a clear demonstration that there are those within our society who remain intent on following an agenda of death and destruction. These people are terrified that Northern Ireland might be beginning to move towards a future where the only thing they offer - a future without hope - is rejected and isolated.

"The best way to bend them a message that Northern Ireland does want a future with hope is to endorse the Agreement in the May 22 Referendum.
