Hoax device left at home of SDLP member
Army Technical Officers carried out a controlled explosion at the home of Londonderry SDLP member, Pat Ramsey, last night.
It is understood that Mr Ramsey's wife discovered a suspicious device in the garden of their home in Meenan Drive, in the Bogside area of the city at around 10.30pm.
When officers arrived to examine the object, they were attacked by youths throwing paint bombs. The object was later declared a hoax.
This is the second time Mr Ramsey's house has been targeted this year.
