On Saturday, dissident Republicans in Northern Ireland were blamed for driving a car through a barrier outside Belfast's police headquarters. The 400 lb. bomb was partially exploded, but the officer who is believed to be the target was unharmed. In a related incident, four men were arrested following a gun attack on police officers in Garrison, County Fermanagh. Though Northern Ireland has made much progress in terms of country unity and decreasing violence, the Independent Monitoring Commission reported dissident Republican threat in Northern Ireland to be at its highest level in six years.
