Elderly couple survive grenade attack

AN elderly couple narrowly escaped with their lives after a grenade was thrown into their kitchen and exploded.

Gardaí said the grenade — a military-style fragmentation grenade — blew a “big hole” in the kitchen and sent shrapnel up through the ceiling and even the roof of the two-storey house.

Detectives said the shocking attack is linked to a new feud in the Crumlin-Drimnagh area of south Dublin.
