Petrol bombs have been thrown at a major Orange Hall in
Belfast.
The attack happened at Belfast Orange Hall, at Clifton Street,
near Carlisle Circus this evening.
Four petrol bombs were thrown at the building while about
50 Orangemen attended a meeting inside. No-one was injured
and damage was superficial.
A spokesman said:
"Only last week we removed the protective cage from around
the hall as a step of faith. However it has only taken a week
for people to attack our hall and risk people's lives. This
is very clearly an attempt to create tension in the community.
We would appeal for people to remain calm and allow the police
to carry out an investigation and find the culprits. Anyone
who saw anything suspicious in the area should contact the
police immediately."
