Landmine attack
The IRA's Belfast Brigade has said that its Volunteers carried out last week's landmine attack in West Belfast. In its statement the IRA said,''shortly before a joint British Army/RUC footpatrol entered Ballymurphy around noon, an engineering unit placed a 2lb high explosive anti-personnel mine behind a low wall in Glenalina Road.
``The engineers concealed the command line and firing pack and as two RUC members and three British soldiers walked past the device it was detonated. The blast threw two members of the crown forces patrol across the road. Both, who clearly had shrapnel wounds to their legs, were put in the rear of one of four armoured personnel carriers which arrived on the scene immediately. The injured crown forces personnel were quickly evacuated from the ambush scene.''.
