Prison
officer injured in New IRA car bomb attack in Belfast dies
A
prison officer blown up in a New IRA car bomb attack has died. Adrian
Ismay, a 52-year-old who trained staff at the top-security Maghaberry
prison, had undergone surgery after being injured in the blast
underneath his van in east Belfast on 4 March.
The
Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) originally said the victim
had not suffered life-threatening injuries in the explosion in the
Woodstock area of the city. But the officer was rushed into hospital
on Tuesday after a suffering a heart attack and later died.
The
New IRA claimed responsibility for the bombing and linked it to an
ongoing dispute between the prison authorities at Maghaberry and
dissident republican inmates.
Ismay
is the second prison officer to die at the hands of republican
dissidents over the last four years. In November 2012, the New IRA
ambushed David Black along the M1 motorway near Portadown as he was
driving to work at Maghaberry prison. The 52-year-old’s car was
riddled with bullets during the shooting.
The
east Belfast attack demonstrates that republican dissident terror
groups have an intelligence-gathering capacity that allows them to
garner information on targets who live in predominantly loyalist and
Protestant areas of Northern Ireland.
The
terror group said the officer was among a number of people on a
so-called hit list drawn up by dissident republicans. The New IRA
said it had used semtex explosive in the booby trap device, which has
prompted unionists to question if all the previous arsenal of the
Provisional IRA had been decommissioned as Sinn Féin had promised
back in 2006-07.
Following
the attack, senior officers of the PSNI revealed that the force had
thwarted at least four other terror attacks across Northern Ireland
and warned of a spike in dissident republican violence in the run-up
to the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising against British rule.
Andy
Allen, the Ulster Unionist MLA for East Belfast, condemned those
behind the killing of the prison officer.
Allen
said: “This is devastating news and my heartfelt sympathies are
with the prison officer’s family. We must ensure that all necessary
support and assistance is given to the family at this difficult time.
The people responsible for this despicable attack must be brought to
justice.
“I
would again reiterate that the people responsible do not represent
wider society. They cannot and will not be allowed to take this
society back to the past.”
