Sleeping family targeted in bomb attack
A sleeping family and a taxi driver have escaped injury during separate bomb and gun attacks in Belfast today.
Six-year-old twin boys and their parents were in bed when a pipe bomb exploded after being pushed through the letter box of their home at Glenpark Court in the Oldpark area.
The device caused blast damage to the front door and hallway of the house in a nationalist part of the city.
No motive has been established for the attack, which left the family shocked but unharmed.
Meanwhile, a taxi driver was shot at as he went to pick up a fare in south Belfast.
The attack happened at the junction of Egmont Gardens and Utility Walk in the Donegall Road area.
Police said a masked gunman approached the driver and fired two shots, hitting the front door.
