The point was Durai wanted to Tower for his own purposes. If he peppered the Tower with pipe bombs and made it unlivable, what would be the purpose? If his desire was to destroy the Tower, you're right. He probably would have bombed the tower in the dead of night without trying to draw any attention to himself or his little group of miscreants.
This supports the theory that Durai is dead. If he was killed during the war, then Scratch would have been driven into a rage and that could have been the reason she threw the pipe bombs. Durai wanted the tower, first he wanted to move his people into it at least a few of them. While they were talking on the radio he said that theirs was already so fortified and safe and he wanted to get inside. Why would he destroy it if he wanted it. My best bet is that scratch wanted revenge and nothing else.
