Police are investigating a report of the costume following the circulation of an image on social media which appeared to show a person in the Guildhall Square in Londonderry dressed in a uniform with 'HAMAS' spelt on it. The interim chief constable of Northern Ireland's police service, Jon Boutcher, said he been made aware of a suggestion it could have been generated by artificial intelligence. "None of our police officers saw anybody in that outfit.
