The IRA did not kill six thousand US civilians in a terrorist attack.
IIRC when the IRA attacks economic infrastructure targets they generally phone in a warning far enough in advance that the area can be evacuated.
Myth. 29 people were killed in an real IRA bombing in Omagh in 1998. This was a shopping High Street full of people. The warning given was incorrect and _increased_ the number of deaths because the terrorists said, probably on purpose, the wrong end of the street and the people were moved towards the bomb. -- 1024/D9C69DF9 steve mynott steve@tightrope.demon.co.uk "no man or group of men shall aggress upon the person or property of anyone else." -- murray n. rothbard
The bombing in Omagh was attributed to the 'Real IRA' a breakaway group who I believe are generally considered to be more hard line than IRA. As far as I understand it they are not the same organisation. -----Original Message----- From: owner-cypherpunks@ssz.com [mailto:owner-cypherpunks@ssz.com]On Behalf Of Steve Mynott Sent: 08 October 2001 12:12 To: cypherpunks@lne.com Subject: CDR: Re: Let's Attack The Irish White Christian Terroroists...

In general the provisional IRA (*not* the same people as the "real IRA", who of course aren't) have given warnings when bombing what they would regard as "civilian" targets, though not against the British military or people they see as "collaborators" in Ireland. There have been 3 explosions near buildings I've worked in, and in each case there were police and firefighters there already. The Omagh business was quite different and done by different people.
