Eleven people have been arrested in connection with the attempted murder of a senior PSNI officer in February.

DCI John Caldwell was left with life changing injuries following a dissident republican gun attack in Omagh on 22 February.

Police say they carried out a significant search and arrest operation this morning.

11 arrests have been made, nine men and two women with ages ranging from 21 to 72 years old.

They've all been detained under the Terrorism Act in Omagh and Coalisland, but have been taken to the Serious Crime Unit in Belfast for questioning.

DCI Caldwell was seen publicly for the first time this week at a garden party hosted by Britain's King and Queen at Northern Ireland's royal residence in Hillsborough.
