Someone has been busy in Ulster....

;)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jul/19/real-ira-larry-keane-murdered?CMP=twt_fd

Quote:
A Real IRA member who tried to bomb Britain with an explosive device larger than the one that caused the 1998 Omagh massacre has been murdered in the Irish Republic.
Larry Keane, who was known as "Bomber", was found fatally injured in a walkway in Athy, Co Kildare on Thursday night, the Garda Síochána said. He died in hospital on Friday morning.


Quote:
His death came in the same week that another Real IRA bomber, Seamus McKenna, was buried in his native Co Louth near the border. McKenna had been named in a civil action taken by families of the Omagh victims who accused him of transporting the Real IRA bomb to the Co Tyrone market town in August 1998. He died from injuries after falling from the roof of a school in Dundalk last week but was kept alive on a life support machine until his organs could be donated.


What comes round goes round.....

Of course this is nothing other than a simple co-incidence....... :lol:

Good to see MI5 is alive and well and working behind the scenes.

On a final note lets home this story is still developing and there are more to come!!

It would be very dramatic if it was British special forces at work in the shadows, but lets not forget that various dissident republican groups have splintered away from the IRA in recent years (and continue to do so) and there are real tensions between some of these DR groups.

I doubt any James Bond or SAS type operation was at work here, that's not to say that some secret UK agency was not involved winding these groups up against each other to disrupt their operations

Almost certainly the outcome of some internecine criminal / dissident Republican dispute, these people are the margins of the margins and not worth gloating or worrying about, as egregious as the past actions of Irish Republicans are, they are self interested, Nationalists whose ultimate goal is to get their territories back, which is an honorable thing as long as it's done peacefully and democratically, those disgusting, inbred Loyalist hicks that were rioting last week are no better if that's what you were implying OP.

I shall console myself that McKenna died with the thought that he died incompetently pursuing his tribe's most ancient tradition - nicking the lead off a school roof.

I hope he lay there in the schoolyard, in pain, for f#ckin' hours, before anybody noticed he was hurt.

The so called loyalist behaviour does leave a hell of a lot to be desired but I keep a special place in my heart for Republican terrorists.

These were the same people who were trying to kill me and friends of mine when we were about the Queens business in Ulster so feck them they deserve everything which is coming to them.

I shall put a few beers in the fridge in the hope these are not isolated deaths and that McGuinness and Adams will soon be front page news.

I can see what you mean, these people were trying to kill you after all ! From what I've read about the NI conflict it was a big can of worms, you had Touts and Informers from all parties mixed up in each other's business, secret channels between the PIRA and Whitehall all along, Sectarian scumbags killing ordinary Joe Soaps just because they were walking down the street in a Catholic part of Belfast, then there was that Stakeknife character who was a British informer at the highest levels of the IRA, my impression of the present day scenario is that it's been wound down to an manageable level of periodic riots and occasional bits of dissident activity which the authorities seem to have a handle on, far better for NI and the UK than it was in the 70's or 80's, Dublin doesn't really want them and London considers them a backwater so better for all concerned if they just get along with life.

Maybe a reason has emerged why now....

http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Real-IRA-warns-sleeper-cells-have-plans-to-attack-major-cities-in-England-213286391.html#ixzz2XVqtqq00

Quote:
Dissident IRA gangs have warned British authorities that they have sent sleeper cells, groups of secret agents who assimilate to British culture before assisting or committing acts of terrorism, to Britain. The Real IRA also warned that they are preparing to attack cities there.

UK security analysts have warned that the Real IRA and other terrorist groups are shifting their focus from Northern Ireland to Britain. Terry Spence, chairman of the Police Federation for Northern Ireland, which represents rank-and-file officers, warned colleagues in England and Wales about the threat.

The Irish Daily Star reported he said, “It is certainly highly likely there are currently cells operating on the mainland UK
