Alliance South Belfast MLA Paula Bradshaw has described those who left a bomb on the Lisburn Road as utterly callous.
Ms Bradshaw stated: “It defies belief that anyone would be so utterly callous as to leave a bomb on a major thoroughfare, where it could have caused death and injury.
“Those involved in such heinous activities have nothing to offer society but grief and mayhem. I would appeal to anyone who saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area to contact the PSNI immediately.”
