==Provisional IRA attack==
On 12 May 1992, a unit of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) East Tyrone Brigade launched a bomb attack on a British Army patrol near the republican stronghold of Cappagh, County Tyrone. One soldier of the Parachute Regiment, Alistair Hogdson,〔(Cumbrian amputee claims skydiving honour ) BBC News, 14 January 2010〕〔Reynolds, David (1998). ''Paras: an illustrated history of Britain's airborne forces''. Sutton, p. 197; ISBN 0750917237〕 lost both legs as a result. The landmine was described in an IRA statement as an "anti-personnel device".〔("New Paratroop controversy" ), emigrant.ie, 18 May 1992.〕 The incident triggered a rampage by members of the Parachute Regiment in the nearby, overwhelmingly Irish nationalist town of Coalisland, some ten miles to the east.〔〔"British troops launch charm attack in Belfast", by Peter Millership, Reuters, 8 August 1993.〕〔 The IRA attack was described as a "provocation" tactic, devised to produce an over-reaction by troops to make them even more unpopular among local nationalists.〔Drake, C.J.M. (1998). ''Terrorists' Target Selection''. Palgrave Macmillan, p. 41; ISBN 0-312-21197-X〕
