The bus driver was told that the bomb, which had been put in a bag behind her seat, was fitted with a two-hour timer. <br /><br />After the masked man had left, the driver evacuated the roughly 10 or so passengers onboard and drove alone to a remote bus station before she contacted the police. <br /><br />Forty households in the neighborhood surrounding Northland Road were evacuated as police investigated the bus. Residents were allowed to return to their homes at about 3:30 a.m.<br /><br />Army bomb experts confirmed that the bomb was a "viable explosive device," according to a Guardian report.<br /><br />The masked man reportedly told the bus driver that he was part of a new dissident Republican group that has been targeting Derry police stations with bomb attacks. <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
