Three attacks in two days drive families from their homes
Families from the Parkhall estate in Antrim, Nelson Drive in Derry and
Moorlough Road in Strabane have become the latest targets of loyalist
murder gangs.
In Antrim, a family of four, two adults and two children believed to be
from England were asleep when a blast bomb was thrown at their Corbally
Park home on Monday night 31 May.
No one was injured but the family has decided to leave their house. After
the bomb exploded, the family had to make their escape through the back of
the house as the front hall was engulfed in flames. All four were treated
for smoke inhalation.
Two other attacks on houses in Derry's Nelson Drive and Strabane were
directed at Catholic families. A 63-year-old woman and four sons escaped
injury when a petrol bomb exploded against her Moorlough Road home outside
Strabane in the early hours of Tuesday 1June.
Earlier, at about 11.30pm on Monday, a petrol-bomb attack in the Nelson
Drive area of Derry caused scorch damage to a Catholic-owned home. The
attack is said to have been carried out by loyalist paramilitaries.
