POLICE IN NORTHERN Ireland have arrested a man in connection with attacks on the homes of Sinn Féin’s Gerry Adams and Bobby Storey.
The incidents happened on Friday night with CCTV footage from Adams’ west Belfast home showing an explosive device being thrown at a car in the driveway and detonating.
Adams spoke to the media on Saturday morning following the incident and said his grandchildren had been playing in the driveway shortly before the attack.
No one was injured in the incident.
