A 34-year-old man is recovering after a gun attack in a loyalist area of Craigavon, Co Armagh. He was shot in the stomach as he opened the door of his home in the Parkmore area on Monday night. His condition is understood not to be life-threatening.
An RUC spokeswoman said no motive had been established for the attack. Meanwhile, Sinn Fein has claimed that loyalists threw a pipe-bomb at a taxi-driver in west Belfast on Monday night.
A Sinn Fein Assembly member, Mr Gerry Kelly, said the device was thrown at a car in the Peter's Hill area. An RUC search for the device was called off when nothing was found.
Mr Kelly said the attack was carried out by loyalists. "This was clearly the work of loyalist death squads in their ongoing sectarian campaign against Catholics in the six counties. These attacks are filling the political vacuum created by the failure to implement the Good Friday agreement," he said.
