A PIPE bomb was thrown at a house in Co Donegal and exploded, causing damage to the kitchen.
The two-storey house, on the Wheatfield estate in Muff, was attacked at 12.30am yesterday.
There was one occupant in the house at the time, who escaped without injury. In March, two children, aged nine and 11, escaped injury when a shot hit the sitting-room window of the same house.
Insp David Murphy of Buncrana Garda station said it was lucky nobody was seriously hurt. “It was a small pipe-bomb device which has been examined by the bomb disposal team,” he said. House to house inquires are ongoing, and a Garda forensic team at the scene is investigating the attack.
