Family escape arson attack on home

TWO toddlers and three adults were very fortunate they were not burnt to death after an arsonist threw a petrol bomb into their home, according to a senior garda.

The petrol bomber struck the two-storey house in Cork shortly after 1.15am yesterday.

The bomb was thrown through the window of the sitting room at the house at Kileenreendowney Avenue, Ballyphehane.
