Vandals broke a dozen windows in an attack on the Rev Ian Paisley's Martyr's Memorial Free Presbyterian Church on the Ravenhill Road in east Belfast today.

The damage, put at more than £1,000, was discovered this afternoon by the church caretaker. The PSNI appealed for any witnesses to the attack to contact them.

The attack is the latest in a growing cycle on places of worship in Northern Ireland.

A Methodist Church was attacked two nights running in north Belfast by paint bombers this week and catholic churches have been repeatedly attacked in Mr Paisley's North Antrim constituency.
