Family targeted in north Belfast blast bomb attack 25 February 2013 Last updated at 07:33 A woman was injured and two family dogs were also hurt in a blast bomb attack at a house in north Belfast. The 44-year-old woman went to answer the door at her home in Thorburn Road, Whitewell, at about 21:45 GMT on Sunday evening when the device exploded. She suffered cuts to her leg. Two family dogs were injured, one lost a paw in the attack. The woman's husband and 15-year-old daughter were inside the house. They were unhurt but deeply shocked. Councillor Guy Spence, DUP, said the attack was "serious and sinister." There was significant damage done in and around the doorway from the blast when the device was thrown. The family is in deep shock. It was just fortunate no-one was badly injured," he said. This could have resulted in potentially a loss of life. They want to know about a dark coloured car which was seen driving away from the attack towards the Serpentine Road.
