School bombs sickening low for loyalists, say police

LOYALIST terrorists who planted pipe bombs at two Catholic schools in Northern Ireland have plunged to a sickening new low, police said yesterday.

With a death threat issued against a priest and worshippers at a cemetery abused by hundreds of protesters near Belfast, the paramilitaries stepped up the intimidation by leaving devices at schools in Co Derry.

One of the bombs was found in the grounds of St Mary's High in Limavady by a caretaker just before staff and pupils arrived.
