Punishment-style attack carried out on teenager in Derry

An 18-year-old youth was shot in a paramilitary-style punishment attack in Derry last night.

Three armed and masked men burst into the teenager’s house in Auglish Court at about midnight where they ordered their victim to lie on the ground, they then shot him in the left leg.

Also in the North, RUC officers have discovered a pipe bomb in north Belfast.

The device was located on the Ardoyne Road and a British army bomb disposal squad was called to the scene.
