From Times Wire Reports
Northern Ireland’s rival paramilitary camps bombed a police station and a Roman Catholic family but no one was injured. In the first attack, two homemade grenades were thrown at a police and British army convoy of armored cars arriving at police barracks in east Belfast’s main Catholic enclave of Short Strand. In Larne, a mostly Protestant port 20 miles north of Belfast, a man, woman and baby escaped injury when a bomb exploded under the van in which they were traveling.
