Man Released Over Attack On Gerry Adams' Home
A man arrested in connection with attacks on the homes of former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams and prominent republican Bobbey Storey has been released on bail.
Explosive devices were thrown at their homes in west Belfast on Friday, 13 July.
Damage was caused to the windscreen of Mr Adams' car.
Police also carried out house searches in west Belfast.
Sinn Fein also held a rally in support of Mr Adams and Mr Storey.
Sinn Fein President Mary-Lou McDonald said: "We are Irish republicans, we are about ending partition, we’re about building an Ireland that’s based on the values of equality, of freedom, of prosperity and of opportunity. Those values and that mission is shared by the communities that we represent.
"There is no appetite, no excuse and no purpose behind the violence that occurred. Attacks on republican leaders, attacks on neighbours and communities, wherever they happen, are attacks on society as a whole and society understands that.
"Michelle and I were in Derry on Friday, we spoke to the people in the Bogside - they made it very clear how angry they are at a very small element that has brought hardship and trouble and panic in some cases to elderly residents and I know here in Belfast there is widespread anger.
"There is zero tolerance for any element that would set out to cause harm or to cause disruption."
