Petrol bomb thrown from Short Strand in east Belfast 19 June 2013 Last updated at 10:17 A petrol bomb was thrown from Belfast's nationalist Short Strand area on Tuesday night into the loyalist Thistle Court area, police have said. It followed an earlier attack from the loyalist side in which a petrol bomb thrown into the Short Strand ignited close to a four year-old-girl. Sinn Féin councillor Niall Ó Donnghaile said the child was left "shaken and frightened." Children were playing in Bryson Street when the device was thrown over a wall. A 15-year-old boy was subsequently arrested for arson.
