A car exploded in the central English city of Birmingham late on Saturday and police said they believed guerrillas opposed to the Northern Irish peace process were responsible. Police said there had been no serious injuries but added that some police officers in the vicinity of the blast may have received minor injuries.
Police spokeswoman Ellie Bird said that early indications suggested that the blast, which occurred late on Saturday near the city's main rail station, was linked to an Irish dissident group opposed to the peace process in Northern Ireland.
She said the explosion took place in area containing crowded night-clubs and cinemas.

The explosion came just hours after Northern Irish politicians found a way to rescue the British-ruled province's peace process.
The process had been thrown into disarray on Friday when Protestant leader David Trimble failed to be re-elected as first minister of Northern Ireland's power-sharing devolved government.
Trimble will get a second chance to return as head of Northern Ireland's government on Monday after pro-peace pact parties struck a deal aimed at outmaneuvering his hardline opponents.
