Ireland: Innocent family has lucky escape after their Dublin home targeted in feud bomb attack

An innocent family had a lucky escape when an explosive device believed to be a grenade was thrown at their home in Finglas, Dublin as part of an escalating gangland feud involving the ‘Mr Flashy’ drugs gang

Gardaí are working on the theory that a rival gang decided to target the home of another innocent woman, who is closely linked to the notorious drug dealer.

However, the bungling gang targeted the wrong property and the suspected grenade exploded in the back garden of the home, causing damage to a door and a window and leaving “a large hole in the ground”.
