    Funnily that was one strike that IRA always denied to have been theirs, and if you study the strikes that they did take credit for, this one was very clearly different. Instead of their classic "minimal casualties, maximum damage" doctrine, that one was exact opposite - material damage was fairly low, but casualties very high.

    It was in fact often noted that the other side of the North Ireland conflict, Ulster's militias was far more likely to have been behind it to gain more support from Great Britain in its campaign against IRA. If that was the case, they succeeded in spectacular fashion.
