Family escapes injury in Antrim pipe-bomb attack

A family of five escaped injury during a loyalist pipe-bomb attack on a house in Antrim in the early hours of this morning.

The device exploded at the front of the property in the Brantwood Gardens area at around 4am.

Damage was caused to the front of the house, but the five occupants - aged between 15 and 50 - were not injured in the blast.

A loyalist group has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack.

The PSNI says it wants to speak to two young men seen riding bicycles in the area at the time.
