Seven people including a severely disabled man and a young boy escaped injury yesterday when a pipe bomb was throw at their home in Co Antrim.
Members of the Catholic family were asleep when the device exploded in the Derriaghy area of Lisburn at 2.45 a.m. It damaged the front door, roof and porch of the house.
Ms Christine Curran, who has lived in the house for seven years, said she had no idea why her family, including her four-year-old grandson and disabled brother-in-law, had been attacked and pleaded to be left alone.
"We don't bother anybody and all I want to know is, do these people realise what they're doing? If it was their mothers or their fathers, would they like it?" she asked.
Meanwhile, three men were injured in paramilitary-style assaults. In the first attack, a 32year-old man suffered head, leg and arm injuries when he was beaten by six masked men in Newtownabbey on the outskirts of north Belfast at 6 p.m. on Sunday.
In Craigavon, Co Armagh, a 19-year-old man was treated for gunshot wounds to his leg and arm after being attacked in the Legahorry area at about 8.15 p.m. on Sunday.
A 20-year-old man was taken to hospital after being beaten in Dromore, Co Down. He was seriously injured in the arm and leg when a man with a baseball bat attacked him early yesterday morning.
