lapwingnewRomanian migrant workers were the targets of the overnight pipe bomb attacks in Derry’s Waterside, it has emerged.

Nine people, including a child, escaped injury when devices exploded outside houses in Lapwing Way and Lincoln Court shortly after 1.35am.

Police said they were treating both incidents as “hate crimes.”

The incidents have been condemned by Derry SDLP MLA Pat Ramsey who said the “appalling” attacks were a “very disturbing” development.

Mr Ramsey added: “‘The devices used were viable and this disgraceful attack must be condemned by all in our community.

“My thoughts are with the families who have been targeted and endured such a terrifying experience during this unacceptable attack.

“We must value, respect and accept our migrant community living in the city.

“Migrant workers are making a significant contribution to our economy and our society.”

Mr Ramsey said he expected the “fullest investigation” to be carried out by police as those responsible “must face the full rigour of the law.”

Mr Ramsey concluded: “I call on anyone who may have information about this to contact the PSNI.”
