Anyone care to inform me (since the article didn't see fit, and I'm lazy) how long it's been since an IRA attack in the UK? I thought things had been calm in the last 3 years.

The Real IRA split from the IRA (along with the Provos) sometime in the eighties, iirc. Ultra-militants, no negotiation, English out of all Ireland, that sort of thing, and there's been a bit of blood between the IRA/Sinn Finn (sp?) and the splinters. Could be fuzzy on the details, but that's the short version.

Pretty much, the PIRA disbanded, the RIRA and CIRA are still about, and have been active for a while. The RIRA carried out the Omagh bombing as well.

They've been trying to kill a security forces member for a while now, recently they fired an RPG at a group of police, shot another in the arm, shot one while dropping his kids off at school, blew a police officers car up and tried to set off a 300lb bomb at an army base.

The original IRA from the 1900s? Yeah they are different from them.

The American funded IRA from the 70s-00s? Same people.

Eh, as far as my understanding goes, 9/11 pretty much destroyed any resistance in the North because all the American sources of funding out of Boston dried up because people all of a sudden saw terrorism as bad (go figure). Been pretty peaceful since then.

Steigen: Well, the British still shouldn't be there.

Right... because the majority of voters in Northern Ireland don't count, when they say they'd rather remain part of the U.K.

It's a big fat power struggle power over a population and a piece of land. When that sort of nonsense happens, I defer to the people who live there to make the decision- and from what I understand, they have.

0% Irish except perhaps when drinking Guinness.

Sssh, don't try and use logic in these kind of arguments.

The British army in NI is minimal now, it just maintains a few bases, same as in Scotland, Wales and England. Since 2007 the army are no longer used to support the Police, they no longer go out on patrol, the RAF is no longer used to ferry Police around.

This was just a Royal Engineers base, they were prepping to deploy to Afghanistan in a few days.

They should have read the papers more. These days, the world has a very bad reaction to these types of attacks.

I would guess they will get a lot more attention then they bargained for.

Yeah, it's pretty embarrassing behavior you'd expect from ass backwards people in the Middle East. but then I've heard sentiments from my own family how every Irish bar in the states took contributions for the other IRA fund. Just as bad as how mosques today collect money for Hamas, Heballah and Taliban associated groups.

GungFu: The American-Irish community is happy their donations are demonstratively helping terrorists freedom fighters.

Of course their freedom fighter, their white, only non-white rebels are called terrorist.

I am guessing the Irish will not be appreciative of any sort of destabilization given the shaky financial shape that island is in at the moment.

I need to read more American History.

Did the "Real IRA" feel left out after the latest Israeli/Hamas war grabbed the front page and the Tamil Tiger/Sri Lankan army blow-up grabbed the inside pages? Poor IRA, hopefully this useless killing got it out of their system.

will the Real IRA please blow up? please blow up?

Doesn't the Good Friday agreement have a provision that says North Ireland will be unified with the Republic of Ireland whenever the majority of the North favours union? The RIRA should be spending its efforts on better propaganda and less bullshiat attacks.

From what I heard, the various factions in the North are mainly fighting over control of the, um, pharma sector (and gasoline bootlegging). They're like a shorter, paler version of the Bloods and the Cribs.

Maybe that was part of it, but from what I understand, local autonomy is what killed the IRA. London created a local parliament, which was then given authority to deal with local issues, as well as have a seat at the table regarding any Ireland-UK discussions.

For the majority of folks, that's what they wanted, and the IRA saw the local support for "military" action dry up.

They have to wear red and march in a straight line.
