Terrorist activity 'played down' - Police Federation

The level of terrorist activity in Northern Ireland is being played down by the police and government to make NI appear more normal than it actually is, the Police Federation has claimed.

When asked about the number of terrorist incidents this year, police say there have been 39 attacks on "national security targets"

But its website lists the total number of shootings and bombings as 150.

The Police Federation has claimed the discrepancy is due to a conspiracy.
