they always did that kind of thing and yet we still have fools who support and give money to them over here.

Palace barracks is where I stayed for some time along with crumlin road jail, no I was guarding it not in jail.

when ever they did their banks jobs or bombings they always took the family hostage and believe me they would kill the family if the guy never carried out their terrorist act.

I swear the IRA, INLA etc are the biggest cowards even for terrorists.

you watch that more of this will happen now bozo is in charge as Bush clamped down on their funding but the IRA are very left wing .
surprise surprise yet again the left wing doing terrorism and killing others in not a fair fight.

“Car bomb explodes near Northern Ireland army base”

SNIPPET: “The blast seems to have been timed to coincide with the precise moment that policing and justice powers devolved from Westminster to Stormont.

Families were spending the night in a local community centre.”

SNIPPET: “Justice transfer

In March, Northern Ireland Assembly members voted in favour of the transfer.
Out of the 105 votes cast in the Assembly, a total of 88 supported the move, with 17 Ulster Unionists voting against.”

SNIPPET: “Later on Monday, Stormont assembly members are due to vote on appointing a new justice minister - the first Northern Ireland politician to take responsibility for justice and policing in 38 years.”

“Car bomb explodes near MI5 in Belfast”
David Sharrock in Belfast

SNIPPET: “Republican terrorist splinter groups were suspected of causing the explosion, which according to first reports caused no injuries.”

SNIPPET: “Police say IRA dissidents held a Belfast taxi driver at gunpoint in his home on Sunday and used his taxi to carry the bomb to the rear of Palace Barracks.

The MI5 building is situated inside Palace Barracks in Holywood, County Down, one of the province’s permanent military bases, and has its own separate and secondary layer of security.

In the last twelve months MI5 has increased the number of officers dedicated to countering Irish terrorism to more than four hundred, according to sources consulted by The Times.

That decision came after the murders of two soldiers and a police officer by two groups calling themselves the Real IRA and the Continuity IRA – both splinter groups of the Provisional IRA, which formally ended its campaign of violence in 2007.”
