Kilrea Orange Hall Hit - Again
Just a few weeks since the last such incident, an Orange hall in Co Londonderry has been attacked yet again.
The latest of three such attacks inside six months, this time a gas cylinder was thrown through the window of a flat at the back of the hall at New Road in Kilrea at about 4.30am on Thursday.
It has been reported that a masked man fled from the scene after he was confronted by a caretaker.
The attack has been condemned by both nationalist and unionist representatives in the area.
SDLP Assembly member John Dallat said such incidents would not be tolerated: "We need to send a clear signal to these people, not only that they will not succeed, but that they will pay a high price," he said.
Police have appealed for anyone who might have seen a car leaving the scene, or has any other information, to contact detectives in Coleraine.
