A rally's being held in west Belfast tonight in solidarity with Gerry Adams and Bobby Storey.

It's after the two prominent republicans had their homes targeted with explosives in attacks on Friday night.

Police say industrial fireworks were used.

CCTV footage shows the device thrown at the home of former Sinn Fein leader Mr. Adams was hurled from a moving car.

Current party president Mary Lou McDonald is among those due to address the rally this evening.

It's taking place at the site of the old Andersonstown barracks from 7pm.

There's been widespread condemnation of the weekend attacks, which are being blamed on dissident Republicans. 

Long-time political rival of Gerry Adams, Tim Attwood of the SDLP, has spoken personally with Bobby Storey...
