PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton said Irish Republican Army dissidents were suspected of being behind the attack.
On Saturday, a car bomb exploded in Londonderry at around 8:10 p.m. local time (20:10 GMT). Police said they were checking a suspicious vehicle when they received information that a device had been left at the courthouse. It was found that the car used had been hijacked from a delivery driver. No one was injured during the attack.
