A family home has been damaged in a petrol bomb attack in Coalisland, County Tyrone.

The house in Inishmore Park was attacked at about 22:30 GMT on Saturday. No-one was at home at the time.

Three men believed to be involved in the attack made off in a white car in the direction of Washingbay Road.

The MP for Mid-Ulster, Francie Molloy, condemned the attack, saying there could be "no justification whatsoever".

"The fact that a family could have been in this particular house and could have been burned to death - we could be facing a situation of multiple deaths," Mr Molloy said.

The Sinn Féin MP added that he believed a family from the travelling community lived in the house.

Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident or who has information about it to contact them.
