RT @PSNIDCSDistrict: Our detectives investigating the attempted murder of two police officers in Strabane on Thursday evening, November 17th have arrested three men.
Any attempt to use violence is reprehensible. This reckless act was highly dangerous and caused significant disruption to the local community. I'm grateful no-one was harmed. I condemn those involved in this attempted attack and reiterate my support for the officers concerned.

RT @HouseofCommons: Today, the House of Commons honours those who have lost their lives in defence of our nation and continue to do so.
The Elizabeth Tower has been illuminated with images of falling poppies to mark this year's #RemembranceSunday.
Representing the UK Government, I also paid my respects to those from Northern Ireland, and further afield, who gave their lives during two World Wars and other conflicts across the world #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem 2/2
On the 35th anniversary year of the Enniskillen bombing, it was humbling to lay a wreath during the annual Remembrance Sunday commemoration in Fermanagh. We remember the innocent victims who lost their lives on that fateful day in 1987, and others throughout the Troubles. 1/2
The US and the UK share a commitment to protecting the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. Good to meet US government representatives today to discuss this, and my plans to get the NI Executive back up and running.
RT @DefenceHQ: At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.
Today I attended the @BICSecretariat Summit in Blackpool alongside fellow ministers from the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands, where I stressed my strong commitment to restoring a functioning Executive to deliver stability for the people of Northern Ireland. (1/2)
Today on Armistice Day, we remember all those from Northern Ireland and across the British Isles, who bravely and selflessly answered the call of duty, and in many cases gave their lives - not only to protect this country but also in the interests of democracy across the world.
Today I have announced plans to extend the period for Executive formation and take powers to reduce MLA salaries as appropriate. (1/3)
This is alarming. NI needs locally accountable leadership now to get its finances in order and protect the ongoing delivery of vital front line services.
