Catholic home targeted in sectarian paint-bomb attack

Police in the North are investigating a sectarian paint-bomb attack on a house in the Co Antrim village of Ahoghill last night.

Several bottles filled with paint were thrown at the house in Tudor Vale at around 11.30pm, causing extensive damage to the property.

Last week, the PSNI offered fire blankets to Catholic families in the village due to a spate of sectarian attacks in the north Antrim area.

The UDA has vowed to force all Catholics out of the area and at least six families have already fled in fear.

Meanwhile, the UDA has also issued a warning to Catholic families moving into a mixed housing estate in the Dunmurray area near Belfast, saying they will be burned out if they don't leave.
