Police attacked with petrol bombs A group of masked youths hurled around 30 petrol bombs at police in a new outbreak of violence in Northern Ireland. Police were attacked as they checked a car park following a bomb alert at Lurgan, south west of Belfast on Sunday. No one was hurt. In Newry, Co Down, masked men hijacked and set on fire a van on the town's bypass. And in fresh violence in Portadown, Co Armagh, protestant homes were attacked at one end of the nationalist Garvaghy Road. Stones were thrown and later a petrol bomb was lobbed at one of the houses. Again, no-one was hurt. |
