Police were reportedly targeted by an explosive device.

A chilling terrorist act shook the United Kingdom today, as a car bomb attack in Northern Ireland bring back memories of the darkest days of the ‘Troubles’.

During the 1970s, the civil rights movement by the Catholic minority against discrimination devolved into open conflict between Irish republican paramilitaries, pro-UK Ulster paramilitaries, and the British Army.

Bombings, shootings, revenge murders in both Northern Ireland and mainland Britain became the norm, and by the end of the decade, thousands had been killed.

In today’s incident, a car bomb exploded outside a Northern Ireland police station in what law enforcement is calling an attempt to kill officers.
