Bomb squad called out after games controller buttons were mistaken for bullets

Bomb disposal experts and police were called to a house in west Belfast, Northern Ireland, after customized buttons on a video games controller were apparently confused for bullets.
A large security operation was launched on Tuesday night and the property cordoned off as searches were carried out in the Sliabh Dubh Lane.
It followed a report that a number of rounds of ammunition had been discovered at an unoccupied house. Further searches were carried out on Wednesday and a number of items removed by police for examination.
Police sources said the suspected bullets were subsequently found to be imitation rounds used as buttons on Xbox 360 controllers. A PSNI spokesman confirmed: "A number of items that were taken away have now been examined and declared to be not suspicious."
