Brighton hotel bombing
The Brighton hotel bombing occurred on 12 October 1984 at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England. A long-delay time bomb was planted in the hotel by Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) member Patrick Magee, with the purpose of killing Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet, who were staying at the hotel for the Conservative Party conference. Although Thatcher narrowly escaped injury, five people were killed, including two high-profile members of the Conservative Party, and 31 were injured.
==Preparation==
Patrick Magee had stayed in the hotel under the pseudonym Roy Walsh during the weekend of 14–17 September 1984. During his stay, he planted the bomb under the bath in his room, number 629.〔 The device was fitted with a long-delay timer made from video recorder components and a Memo Park Timer safety device.〔Parry, Gareth; Pallister, David. ''Timer clue to Brighton bombing'', The Guardian; 10 May 1986〕 IRA mole Sean O'Callaghan claimed that 20 lb (9 kg) of Frangex (gelignite) was used.〔Clarke, Liam. ''IRA mole warned police about Brighton bomb'', Sunday Times 15 December 1996〕 The device was described as a 'small bomb by IRA standards' by a contemporary news report, and may have avoided detection by sniffer dogs by being wrapped in cling film to mask the smell of the explosive.
