On the evening of 26 March 1997, the Provisional IRA East Tyrone Brigade launched an improvised grenade attack on the fortified Royal Ulster Constabulary/British Army base in Coalisland, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The blast sparked an immediate reaction by an undercover Special Air Service unit, who shot and wounded an Irish republican and alleged IRA volunteer, Gareth Doris. The SAS unit was then surrounded by a crowd of protesters who prevented them approaching Doris or leaving. RUC officers arrived and fired plastic bullets at the crowd, allowing the special forces to leave the area.〔("How Elite Squad Pounced" ) by Conor Hanna. Daily Mirror, 28 March 1997〕 == Previous incidents ==
Coalisland is a town in County Tyrone that had a tradition of militant republicanism; five residents had been killed by British security forces before the first IRA ceasefire in 1994.〔Toolis, Kevin (1995).''Rebel Hearts: journeys within the IRA's soul''. Picador, p. 38. ISBN 0-312-15632-4〕 In February 1992, four IRA volunteers were killed in a gun battle with the SAS during their escape after a machine gun attack on the RUC/British Army barracks there.〔McKittrick, David (1999). ''Lost lives''. Mainstream, p. 965. ISBN 1-84018-227-X〕 Three months later an IRA bomb attack on a British Army patrol at Cappagh, in which a paratrooper lost his legs, triggered a series of clashes between local residents and British troops on 12 and 17 May. A number of civilians and soldiers were injured, a soldier's backpack radio destroyed and two British weapons stolen.〔Fortnight issues 302-12, Fortnight Publications, 1992, pg. 6〕 The meleé was followed by a 500-strong protest in the town and bitter exchanges between Republic of Ireland and British officials.〔(''The Irish Emigrant'' ), "Paratroopers remain in North". Issue No.277, 25 May 1992〕
