Army bomb disposal experts were called to the scene and a number of homes were evacuated and an emergency shelter provided for families affected.Investigations continued and this morning the PSNI issued a statement saying the device found was a viable explosive. "I would again appeal to anyone who was in the vicinity of Milldale Crescent in Curryneirin or in the vicinity of Waterside Police Station on Sunday evening around 10.30pm, to come forward with information on 101 or through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Problem. Reaction. Solution. I wonder where this is all leading?
