Woman hurt in Belfast house bomb attack

Sectarian bombers are suspected of injuring a woman in an attack on a north Belfast home today.

A blast device was thrown at the house on Mountainview Gardens, off the Upper Crumlin Road, at about 12.15am.

The bomb damaged an upstairs bedroom window and a car parked outside.

Police said the woman, who was alone in the property, needed hospital treatment for cuts and lacerations.

A spokesman confirmed detectives were examining a possible sectarian motive for the attack.

Investigating officers have urged any witnesses to contact them.
