POLICE are treating a nail bomb attack on a house in South Belfast just after midnight on June 29 as sectarian.
A woman sleeping upstairs escaped unharmed when the device was thrown through the living room window at Upper Dunmurry Lane. It exploded causing damage to the living room starting a fire. The woman is being treated for shock.
The police later found a car burned out at Seymour Hill. They are investigating a link between the Silver Peugeot 206 and the nail bomb attack. The car had been hijacked earlier in the evening and had a taxi sign on its roof.
