"Last night's car bomb in Dunmurry has caused a lot of confusion, uncertainty and fear in the area," People Before Profit MLA Gerry Carroll said.
"At a time of the week when people are supposed to be resting and relaxing, there is panic and concern. Thankfully, nobody has been seriously injured but it could have been a different story altogether with this completely reckless action."
Councillor for the area, Michael Collins, added: "For all the deep and real problems that exist in our community, like poverty, inequality and state repression, planting car bombs to explode in a public place offers not a single shred of hope or positive change to people."
"The people of West Belfast don't want car bombs in their area - nowhere does. This must end."
