1973 Old Bailey Bombing : ウィキペディア英語版 | 1973 Old Bailey Bombing
The 1973 Old Bailey bombing was an explosion of a car bomb outside the Old Bailey Courthouse on 8 March 1973. The attack was carried out by an 11-person ASU from the Provisional Irish Republican Army's Belfast Brigade. ==Background==
The Troubles had been raging for four years non stop in Northern Ireland and to a lesser extent the Republic of Ireland since the Battle of the Bogside in Derry in August 1969 which brought British troops to Ireland for the first time since 1921. Rioting, gun battles, sniper attacks, bombings and punishment beatings became part of everyday life very quickly. Hundreds of people had already been killed by the start of 1973 just under five hundred people had been killed in 1972 alone and horrific atrocities had already occurred like Bloody Sunday where British soldiers mainly from the Parachute Regiment killed 14 unarmed civilians many of whom were just teenagers, Bloody Friday when the IRA exploded over 20 bombs in Belfast city in the space of just over an hour and McGurk's Bar bombing when a UVF bombing of a pub killed 15 civilians. These events along with others helped to heighten sectarianism and boosted recruitment into Republican and Loyalist paramilitaries. But the British mainland had been relatively unharmed up until the beginning of 1973, but the IRA's Army council had drawn up plans for a bombing campaign of the mainland for sometime early in 1973.
