Narrative:
Airline X, an A320, on 120 degree heading, 6000 ft, vector to final at phl. An unknown aircraft, class B violator, identified later as PA28 was westbound and appeared level at 5500 ft. The violator then started to climb and airline X asked for a turn away, and I turned him to 90 degrees. Airline X responded to RA and climbed. He called clear of conflict at 6500 ft, and I issued a right turn to 120 degrees and a frequency change. Airline X was then observed turning northeast bound toward airline Y, a DO328 that had been previously separated from airline X. Airline Y was then turned to 010 degrees and descended.

Title: A320 REQUESTS AND IS ISSUED A VECTOR BY PHL AWAY FROM A CLASS B VIOLATOR, REACTS TO A TCASII CLIMB RA AND CONFLICTS WITH A DO328.
Narrative: AIRLINE X, AN A320, ON 120 DEG HEADING, 6000 FT, VECTOR TO FINAL AT PHL. AN UNKNOWN ACFT, CLASS B VIOLATOR, IDENTIFIED LATER AS PA28 WAS WESTBOUND AND APPEARED LEVEL AT 5500 FT. THE VIOLATOR THEN STARTED TO CLIMB AND AIRLINE X ASKED FOR A TURN AWAY, AND I TURNED HIM TO 90 DEGS. AIRLINE X RESPONDED TO RA AND CLIMBED. HE CALLED CLR OF CONFLICT AT 6500 FT, AND I ISSUED A RIGHT TURN TO 120 DEGS AND A FREQ CHANGE. AIRLINE X WAS THEN OBSERVED TURNING NE BOUND TOWARD AIRLINE Y, A DO328 THAT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY SEPARATED FROM AIRLINE X. AIRLINE Y WAS THEN TURNED TO 010 DEGS AND DESCENDED.
