An incendiary attack on a paint and paper shop in Derry has left three women and a child in hospital with serious burns. The building was destroyed and neighbouring premises damaged. The Irish Republican Army (IRA) in Derry claimed responsibility for the attack which happened only an hour after Northern Secretary Tom King left announcing new jobs for the city.
