Injured Man Arrested After Blast
A man who was taken to hospital with hand injuries after a device exploded in north Belfast at the weekend has been arrested.
The 36-year-old man is being questioned in connection with the pipe bomb attack in Kansas Avenue after residents heard a loud bang at about 1.40am on Sunday morning. The occupants of the house were uninjured and the police are appealing for anyone who was in the area and witnessed the incident, or has information, to contact them.
Meanwhile, there has been a fresh arrest over the Real IRA bomb attack on Palace Barracks in Holywood.
