Orange Hall Attacked In Co Tyrone
Minor damage has been caused to an Orange Hall following an attack in Co Tyrone.
The incident happened at the Glenageeragh Orange Hall in Augher on Saturday, 24 March.
The remains of what is believed to be a petrol bomb were discovered inside the building.
The PSNI are treating the attack as a hate crime.
A Grand Lodge spokesman said: "This is a deeply regrettable and disturbing incident which had the potential to destroy a valued community hub and symbolic cultural building. It is only as a consequence of the amateurish actions of those responsible that we are not dealing with a much more serious occurrence."
Alliance MLA Stewart Dickson said: "Incidents like this do nothing except attempt to intimidate one section of our community and should be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
"The people responsible for this attack offer nothing positive to our society. I would encourage anyone with information to report it to the police immediately."
The Glenageeragh incident is the second time this month an Orange hall has been targeted in Co Tyrone following a separate paint bomb attack at Aughintober, near Dungannon.
