Brexit Day bomb plot
The Brexit Day bomb plot was a plan to carry out a terrorist bombing in the United Kingdom on 31 January 2020 on the day of Brexit, when the country withdrew from the European Union. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) was given two anonymous tips that a bomb inside a lorry would be on a ferry heading from Belfast Harbour to Cairnryan, Scotland. A search at Belfast Harbour failed to find a device. On 5 February 2020, the bomb was found inside a lorry on the Silverwood Industrial Estate in Lurgan, County Armagh, Northern Ireland, after searching 400 lorries. The device was made safe by a bomb disposal team. The PSNI are investigating the incident and believe the Continuity Irish Republican Army (CIRA) was responsible for the failed plot.
