LONDON (AP) — Police in Northern Ireland have arrested a man in connection with an attack on the home of former Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland said Wednesday a 35-year-old man is in custody after being detained Tuesday night.

There were separate attacks on the homes of Adams and of senior Sinn Fein figure Bobby Storey on Friday night.

No one was injured but a car in Adams' driveway was damaged.

Police said explosive devices capable of causing serious injury were thrown at the two houses in west Belfast.

The suspect has not been identified or charged.
