The Army have carried out two controlled explosions on a suspect device found in a County Armagh town.

Police had warned of an unexploded bomb at Kinelowen Street in Keady, however it was later declared an elaborate hoax.

Part of the town was cordoned off as Army bomb disposal experts examined the object.

Searches in the area started after claims that a bomb was thrown at the security forces but failed to explode.

A caller claiming to be from the dissident Continuity IRA had issued a coded warning to a Belfast newspaper.

It was claimed that a bomb had been thrown at a police vehicle on Monday.

SDLP councillor Thomas O'Hanlon said the people responsible for the alert have no place in society.

"The message that needs to go out loud and clear to them is 'stop, get off the scene'.

"The people of this area don't need this," Mr O'Hanlon said.
