Gerry Adams's & Bobby Storey's houses firebombed
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jul/14/gerry-adams-home-attacked-explosive-device-sinn-fein-northern-irelandExplosive devices were thrown at the homes of prominent republican figures in Northern Ireland, including the former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams, on Friday night, the party has said.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) confirmed on Friday it was dealing with two incidents at two addresses in west Belfast, though officers declined to give any further details.
The attack on Adams’s home – and another on that of Bobby Storey, who has served as the party’s northern chairman – were condemned as by Gerry Kelly, Sinn Féin’s policing and justice spokesman.
“I would appeal for calm. These attacks are the desperate acts of increasingly desperate and irrelevant groups,” he said in a statement released late on Friday night.

is a return to the Troubles.
isn't looking quite so united these days. I'm guessing Putin and his Puppet are just fine with that.
