SF condemns Belfast pipe bomb

Sinn Féin have said children could easily have been killed by a no-warning bomb in west Belfast last night.

The pipe bomb attached to a drum of petrol exploded around 8pm outside a house in the St. James area.

Up to 30 homes were evacuated and a second similar device was discovered a short time later.

Sinn Fein councillor Briege Brownlee said it was "a reckless attack".
