Gavin Coyle admitted charges linked to the attempted murder of the officer near Castlederg in 2008.
A man has been jailed for at least four years on charges linked to the attempted murder of a Catholic police officer in County Tyrone in 2008.
The victim has struggled to come to terms with the physical and mental repercussions of the bombing and had suffered mental ill health and permanent disfiguring injuries. Speaking outside court, Det Insp Hazel Miller said: "No one should ever have to experience such a cruel ordeal, the lasting impact of which isn't just felt by the victim, but by family and loved ones too."She described the attack as cowardly, calculated and cold-blooded and said it was "carried out with one aim: to take the life of a police officer".
