Latest Ardoyne attack
Workers carrying out repairs in the Brookfield Mill complex in Ardoyne narrowly escaped injury or death in the latest loyalist bomb attack in North Belfast.
The attack, carried out at approximately 12 noon on Wednesday 26 September, was launched across the `peace line' on Crumlin Road as the workers carried out repairs to the complex.
One man, who was on a ladder and a workmate who was holding the ladder, both escaped injury as the loyalist device - described as a blast bomb contained in a heavy metal cylinder - exploded.
According to witnesses, loyalists had been climbing up onto the wall during the course of the morning and were hurling sectarian abuse at people in the Mill complex. The loyalists also warned that they would attack the mill ``again''.
On Sunday, two blast bombs were thrown at the mill and later that day a loyalist mob broke through the gates to attack the complex but were confronted by nationalists who drove them off.
Sinn Féin Councillor Margaret McClenaghan accused the loyalists of timing their attack to coincide with lunchtime at Holy Cross girl's school.
``Parents were gathering to collect the children from the school at the time and I've no doubt the loyalists timed this attack to terrorise the children.''
