CAC bombs Derry tax office
``This is no joke. This is a bomb. Get out.'' Those words shouted
by a masked man armed with a handgun who left a holdall
containing explosives with petrol attached meant the evacuation
of 300 British government workers in Derry City last Thursday
morning 30 October.
Twenty minutes later a small explosion shook the motor tax office
in Foyle Street just before a British army technical unit arrived
at the scene.
Sinn Fein's Dodie McGuinness described the bombing as ``deeply
concerning'' and said those responsible were trying to undermine
the peace process. ``I believe everyone should remain focused on
the task in hand and not be deflected by incidents of this kind,''
she said.
