[quote:56971]The IRA bomb campaign, which hit London from 1973 onwards, sought to create a climate of fear over a long period, but it soon tried to explode two or more devices at a time to maximise the havoc. There were 36 bombs in London in 1973.

Over 20 years, the IRA strategy shifted away from causing as many casualties as possible to trying to cause economic damage to London's financial centre.

The major incidents were:


1973, March 8: two IRA car bombs in London explode outside the Old Bailey and government's agriculture department headquarters, killing one person and wounding more than 150


1974, October 5: two IRA bombs explode in pubs in the London suburb of Guildford; five dead, more than 50 injured


November 21: two IRA bombs in Birmingham kill 19 and wound more than 180


1982, July 20: two IRA bombs in Hyde Park and Regent's Park in London kill 11 British soldiers and wound more than 40, mostly civilian onlookers


1983, December 17: IRA car bomb explodes outside Harrods department store, killing six people and wounding about 100


1984 October 12: IRA targets conference of ruling Conservative party, killing five and wounding 24, but narrowly missing the prime minister, Margaret Thatcher


1989, September 22: the IRA bombs the Royal Marines School of Music in Deal, killing 10 soldiers and wounding more than 30


1991, February 7: IRA fires three homemade mortar shells at No 10 Downing Street, the British prime minister's official residence in London. No injuries


1992, April 10: a massive IRA truck bomb in London's financial district kills three and causes hundreds of millions of pounds worth in damage


April 24: an IRA truck bomb in London's financial district, killing one and causing heavy damage


1996, February 9: IRA ends a 17-month ceasefire with a third massive truck bomb in London's financial district, killing two


February 18: an IRA bomber accidentally kills himself aboard a London double-decker bus, five injured


June 15: for the first time, the IRA targets a different English city - Manchester - with a massive truck bomb, wrecking the central shopping area and wounding about 200


2000, September 20: IRA dissidents fire rocket-propelled grenades at headquarters of MI5 security agency. No injuries.[/quote:56971]

Granted, and one cant HELP but wonder where is next? You know? I mean, who would have thought WTC...who would have thought London?! And then...who would have thought 9/11 and 7/7? I dunno, I just think...these low-life overjealous scum need to be defaced from this planet. They are so fucking pissed about the modern world and how things are run, that they start justifying their killings and actions for Allah. Pfft, cut me a fucking break. There is no excuse for even dreaming something like this up. I say find a way to lure their punk asses out into the desert all together...and nuke it. hellfire:


My heart and prayers go out to ALL that are involved! I hear that London is calling in Active Duty soldiers...I cannot imagine the feeling as your walking out your front door. As I said, my heart and prayers guys!

Jacob Keryakes: Well, the statement was published on an Islamic web site. Minutes later, it was removed from the web site itself because it contained an error in one of the Quaranic verses and al-Qaida doesn't usually do that, but the same statement was published (later) on a secular web site.

The statement was signed by a group calling itself "The Secret Organization or the Secret Wing of al-Qaida in Europe."[/quote:e9c4f]

RIP to all the lives lost and sympathy for all injured. EDIT: Not needed Pyro... --Zone

I thought that it was a fair comment.

I don't know...what other reason would you want to choose London? Oppressing the powerful and followers of them.

He tries..and fails miserably several times a week.

Today has been horrible, I've been trying to contact a group of family friends who live in London but no reply as of yet. They live in the centre of London and commute in the tube alot, I really hope they're alright.

I was listening to BBC radio 5 Live this morning at 9.45 and heard all the fuss about apparent power surges in the underground. I thought nothing of it and then out of no-where a tube passenger phoned in and mentioned a police officer told him at least 30 were lost...I was shocked and I've been trying to get information about it all day.

I always said it was going to be a matter of time and this is it. There will doubtless be more attacks on the way but today has been a terrible test on how we'll have to cope with these bastards and their horrible intentions.

I don't usually but I actually got a little emotional reading all the reports in the paper on my way home tonight, it was total panic and devastation.

Hope all the injured heal quickly so we can all get on with our lives again.
Those fucks won't bring us down to their level, ever.
