British and Irish officials are holding new talks today in Belfast as the RUC investigate a fresh outbreak of attacks across the North.
Sinn Fein have blamed the UDA for firing shots at the north Belfast home of a former republican prisoner while in the Co Derry town of Garvagh, a 70-year-old man escaped unhurt after a pipe bomb thrown though a window of his house failed to explode.
Meanwhile, a device exploded at an unoccupied house on Lothair Avenue in north Belfast, while a further mortar bomb attack on Ebrington Barracks in Derry was unsuccessful.
