Police in Co Armagh have declared a suspected explosive device in the Keady area an elaborate hoax.
The British army dealt with the device found at the junction of Kinelowen Street and St Patrick's Street in Keady yesterday after police had warned of an unexploded bomb.
A caller to a Belfast newsroom claiming to represent the Continuity IRA said dissident republicans had planted the bomb.
Debris from the device has been taken away for further examination.
