Justice Minister David Ford has condemned last night's bomb attack in Londonderry.

He said: "This was an attack not just on the people of Derry but on the political progress that has been made in Northern Ireland over the years under devolution.

"Those who planted this bomb have been rejected by the people of Ireland, both North and South and they will not be allowed to succeed in their attempts to drag Northern Ireland back to the past.

"This bomb could have killed or injured and thankfully no-one was hurt in the blast. Once again the PSNI showed great courage in moving residents out of their homes and away from danger and anyone with any information about the attack should contact the police."
