Alliance hits out at Killyleagh petrol bomb attackers

3.05.53pm UTC (GMT +0000) Fri 18th Aug 2006

Alliance Party Down Representative, Neil Powell, has condemned last night's petrol bomb attack on a house in Killyleagh. Four people, including two children escaped injury in the attack which took place in the Limetree Hollow area of the town.

Neil Powell said: "I am disgusted by this attack. Four people were in the house at the time, two of them children. To put these people under threat was absolutely despicable.

"We are trying to create a peaceful future for Northern Ireland and such incidents have no place in any law abiding society.

"I hope the perpetrators are swiftly brought to justice and I call on those with information on this incident to contact police immediately."

ENDS
