Further attack on Alliance office
There has been a further petrol bomb attack on the Alliance party office in east Belfast.
Police said the office on the Upper Newtownards Roads was attacked with a petrol bomb and paint bomb in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Damage was caused to the shutters of the office.
A police spokesman said: “Shortly before 4am police on patrol in the area noticed paint damage to the shutters at the front of the premises.
“Upon further examination it was discovered that a paint bomb had been thrown at the property.
“The remains of a burnt out petrol bomb was also discovered at the front of the premises.”
The attack follows after the building, which is the office of MP Naomi Long, was attacked by four men with seven petrol bombs on Tuesday.
Police would not be drawn on who was to blame, but Sinn Féin deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, during a visit to the office on Wednesday, blamed the attack on UVF.
Police are appealing for information.
