| Police in Newry have condemned a foiled bomb attack at the home of a serving Catholic police officer in Kilkeel as a cowardly and callous act.
The viable device, found under a car, was made safe by Army technical officers.
The car belonged to the niece of independent republican councillor Martin Connolly.
He left Sinn Fein three years ago when the party decided to support the PSNI.
Mr Connolly declined to condemn the attack, saying he "did not want to get into the politics of condemnation".
"It hasn't done any good in the past, nor will it do any good in the future," he said.
"The fact of the matter is - let's deal with facts and be realistic about it - while there's British occupation in Ireland there will always be opposition to that, whether you agree with it or not."
