Police were in the process of evacuating people from the area when there was a large explosion in a car which left the vehicle ablaze close to the courthouse gates, a spokeswoman for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said.
There were no initial reports of casualties, she added.
The bombing came just over two weeks after a deal to fully move policing powers to Belfast from London secured the future of Northern Ireland's fragile powersharing executive where in-fighting had threatened.

I wouldn't think the IRA would be that sloppy either. If the IRA wanted to kill someone, it would have happened. Plus, what motive would they have to do this?

I'd bet it was a group in the UK government who were unhappy about giving Northern Ireland policing powers. I wouldn't think the IRA would be that sloppy either. If the IRA wanted to kill someone, it would have happened. Plus, what motive would they have to do this? They just got more freedom than they've had, and did it peacefully for the last several years. Why would they endanger that by going back to the old ways?
Seems more likely its a false flag if you ask me.
silly me i always thought the terrorists where to blame for planting the bombs, and when the terrorists admit they planted the bombs it never occurred to me that it was my government and not these thick irish murders who cant get it into there heads that nobody supports them... sarcasm off...

Most of the violence is too small scale to be the RealIRA, they are too busy trafficking these days to care about the Republican cause.
