An explosive device has been thrown at former Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams' house in west Belfast, the party has said.

In a statement the party added activist Bobby Storey's house was also attacked.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) confirmed that it was investigating two incidents in west Belfast.

Mr Adams, a member of parliament in the Republic of Ireland, tweeted that no-one was hurt at his house.

Sinn Fein MLA Gerry Kelly said "these were reprehensible and cowardly attacks".

"Grandchildren were in the driveway of Adams' home minutes before the attack," he added.

The attacks come after six nights of violence in Londonderry, which led to six people being arrested on Thursday evening.

Over the course of Thursday 75 petrol bombs and two improvised explosives were thrown at PSNI officers.

Police accused dissident republicans of the attacks, which have taken place around the Twelfth of July parades, a frequent heightening of tensions centred around the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne.

Ahh the annual Northern Irish tradition of complaining about a march goes further than just grumbling this year.

May the whores of the empire lie awake in their beds
And sweat as they count out the sins on their heads
While over in Ireland eight more men lie dead
Kicked down and shot in the back of the head
 
I love that IRA is the leading option in the poll at the mo.

Gerry Adams is synonymous with Sinn Fein, the political arm of the IRA.

The splinter factions of the IRA used to spend more time killing each other over who was the real IRA than they did British soldiers and cops and whatever.

Better they kill each other than a bunch of children.

Clearly it was Sadiq Khan sharing his parts and parcels with the Irish.

He probably wouldn't want to touch it.

A lot of Americans don't realise but Norn Iron is pretty much the small-c conservative ideal for the UK. It's 80% Christian, with fewer than 1% being non-Christian religious, you can own guns for self-defense, and for those who care about that sort of thing it's 98.3% white.

So, basically Britain 30 years ago.

It's probably the only place in the British Isles where the white birth rate is near the replacement rate too.

You still need a loicense to own a pistol, however. And I know from experience that they don't issue them too liberally, unfortunately.

Never thought about it like that, but yeah. Fuck.

Say what you like about Tony Blair, nobody before or since has ever crushed the spine of nation quite so efficiently.
