Teebane bombing
The Teebane bombing (or Teebane massacre)〔("Bid to honour civilian workers killed in Troubles" ). ''The News Letter''. 2 March 2011.〕〔
("The money doesn't matter" ). ''Mid Ulster Mail''. 9 September 2009.〕 took place on 17 January 1992 at a rural crossroads between Omagh and Cookstown in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. A roadside bomb destroyed a van carrying 14 construction workers who had been repairing a British Army base in Omagh. Eight of the men were killed and the rest were wounded. The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) claimed responsibility, saying that the workers were killed because they were "collaborating" with the "forces of occupation".
As all of those killed were Ulster Protestants; some Protestants interpreted the bombing as a sectarian attack against their community. On 5 February, the Ulster loyalist Ulster Defence Association (UDA) retaliated by shooting dead five Irish Catholics at a betting shop in an Irish nationalist area of Belfast.
==Background==
Since the beginning of its campaign in 1970, the Provisional IRA had launched frequent attacks on British Army and Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) bases in Northern Ireland. In August 1985 it began targeting civilians who offered services to the security forces; particularly those employed by the security forces to maintain and repair its bases. The first to be killed was a Catholic man who was shot dead for selling portable buildings to the RUC.〔(Chronology of the Conflict: August 1985 ), Conflict Archive on the Internet (CAIN)〕 In October 1990, the IRA launched three "proxy bomb" attacks. Three men, whom the IRA claimed were working for the security forces, were tied into cars loaded with explosives and ordered to drive to British Army checkpoints while their families were held at gunpoint. The bombs were then remotely detonated. Six soldiers and one of the forced drivers were killed in the first two attacks.〔(Chronology of the Conflict: October 1990 ), Conflict Archive on the Internet (CAIN)〕 A third proxy bomb was driven to Lisanelly British Army base in Omagh, but the main bomb failed to explode.〔English, Richard (2005). ''Armed struggle: the history of the IRA''. Oxford University Press, p. 126.ISBN 0195177533〕 An earlier attack had taken place on this barracks in January, when an IRA bomb damaged the perimeter fence.〔O'Brien, p. 201〕 Between August 1985 and January 1992, the IRA killed 23 people who had been working for (or offering services to) the security forces.〔O'Brien, Brendan. ''The Long War: The IRA and Sinn Féin'' (second edition). Syracuse University Press, 1999. pp.219–221〕 The IRA also alleged that some of those targeted had links with loyalist paramilitaries.〔
