Summary
A car bomb detonated outside a courthouse in Northern Ireland the night of Feb. 22. There were no injuries in the attack, which caused only superficial damage to the building. The attack by dissident republicans, while failing to cause any real damage, is a sign of escalating tensions over the peace process in the run-up to general elections in the United Kingdom.
