Loyalists blamed for bomb attack

Loyalists were today being blamed for a bomb attack on the Co Armagh home of a Catholic family.

A mother and daughter escaped injury when a blast bomb thrown at their Lurgan house exploded at the front door causing minor damage late last night.

A second device found in the front garden of the house at Demense Avenue was defused by army bomb disposal experts.

Police, who appealed for information about the attack, said they believed it to have had a sectarian motive.
