The Thiepval Barracks bombing was a double car bomb attack carried out by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) on 7 October 1996. The bombs exploded inside Thiepval Barracks, the British Army headquarters in Northern Ireland. One British soldier was killed and 31 people were injured. This bombing was the first major attack on a military base in Northern Ireland since the ending of the IRA's ceasefire on 9 February 1996, when it exploded a large bomb in London's Docklands. == Background ==
The Provisional IRA ended its 1994 ceasefire on 9 February 1996, when a massive car bomb went off in the London Docklands area, resulting in two deaths and causing huge damage, especially around the South Quay railway station. The IRA strategy was to pressure the British government by bombing England, but without rejecting the peace process〔Bartlett, Thomas (2010) ''Ireland: A History''. Cambridge University Press, p. 565. ISBN 0-521-19720-1〕 and without returning to full-scale operations. At first, there were no prospects of resuming the campaign in Northern Ireland, to defuse potential all-out sectarian violence.〔Rowan Smith, Michael Lawrence (1997). ''Fighting for Ireland?: the military strategy of the Irish Republican movement''. Routledge, Preface, vi. ISBN 0-415-16334-X〕 However, a series of successful police raids in England lead a decision by the IRA to restart its operations in Northern Ireland.〔McGladdery, Gary (2006).
