A Co Tyrone married couple have been remanded in custody on charges of possessing explosives with intent to endanger life.

Mr Steven John Daly (28) and his wife, Mrs Helen Marie Daly (25), from Glennaness Road, Sixmilecross, appeared at a special sitting of Omagh Magistrates Court on Thursday evening.

Both denied the charges, which relate to the discovery of a 130lb primed bomb packed into a creamery churn close to Sixmilecross on Tuesday.

A police officer told the court that when charged Mrs Daly had said: "I don't know anything about it."

The court heard that the couple had protested their innocence during police questioning. A detective sergeant said he believed he could connect the Dalys to the charge.
