Loyalists thought to be behind pipe bomb attacks
Loyalist paramilitaries are thought to have been behind two separate, but connected, pipe bomb attacks in Londonderry early this morning.
In the first attack five people, all Protestants, escaped injury after a pipe bomb was thrown at a house in Bond's Place in the Waterside area of the city at about 2am.
Surrounding homes had to be evacuated following the incident as army bomb experts searched the area.
During the second incident a short time later a woman picked up a pipe bomb outside her house in the Church Meadows area of the Waterside not knowing what it was.
Luckily for the woman it failed to go off.
It is believed the residents of both homes are related.
