Thiepval Barracks security alert 'nothing untoward'
Police and army bomb experts are examining a suspicious item within the Thiepval Barracks complex.
A security alert sparked at Thiepval Barracks in Lisburn has ended.
The Belsize Road was closed while police and army bomb experts examined a suspicious item within the complex.
The object was found to be nothing untoward.
A number of nearby residents were evacuated but are now returning to their homes.
It comes just hours after a bomb exploded under a van in east Belfast seriously injuring a prison officer.
Police have warned it is part of a dissident republican plot to kill security forces in the lead up to the Easter Rising centenary.
